Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup sorghum flour (jowar atta)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons ghee or oil for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sorghum flour, and salt.
Step 2
Add the vegetable oil and mix well with your fingers until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
Step 3
Gradually add water, a little at a time, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. You may not need the entire cup of water, so add it slowly.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Heat a tawa or flat griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your palms. Dust it with a little flour and roll it into a circle of about 5-6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Step 8
Place the rolled bhakri onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side, until it begins to puff up and golden spots appear.
Step 9
Flip the bhakri, brush lightly with ghee or oil, and cook for another 1-2 minutes pressing lightly with a spatula, until the other side is cooked and has golden spots.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve the nut-free bhakri hot with your choice of curry, chutney, or side dish.
