Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, jowar flour, salt (if using), and carom seeds. Mix well to ensure the flours and seeds are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until it forms a dough. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky. Adjust the water quantity slightly if needed.
Step 3
Add olive oil to the dough and knead it for another 5 minutes. This will make the dough smooth and prevent it from sticking.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, flatten each dough ball into a disc about 5 to 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin to form a thin circle.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.
Step 7
Place one bhakri on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface.
Step 8
Flip the bhakri using a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
Step 9
If you prefer a crisper texture, lightly press the edges and center with a cloth while cooking. You may see some puffing, which is normal.
Step 10
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve the low sodium bhakris warm with your choice of curry or side dish.
