Bhakri Recipe

Ingredients:

Recipe :

  • Step 1 Knead a stiff dough

    To prepare this Maharashtrian recipe, make a stiff dough of flour with water. Knead it well.

  • Step 2 Make small dough balls

    Take a small-sized dough, make a ball out of it and place it on a plastic sheet.

  • Step 3 Pat the dough to shape the Bhakri

    Wet your hands with water and pat the dough gently into a thick, flat disk. This is your Bhakri. Make sure that the dough does not stick while patting.

  • Step 4 Roast the Bhakri

    Heat a griddle and place the Bhakri on it. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and roast it well.

  • Step 5 Flip & cook the other side

    When the bottom of the dough turns crispy brown, turn it over and cook the other side. When it is golden brown, serve after putting some ghee.

Tips :

  • You can skip the ghee if you want to keep it healthier.

  • You can sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped coriander leaves over the Bhakri.

  • You can also make different versions of Bhakri with whole-wheat or Bajra flour.
