Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Oil
• 2 teaspoons Clarified butter or additional oil (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling 2.5 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of oil to the water.

Step 2

Once the water comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and add 2 cups of rice flour gradually, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Turn off the heat and cover the pot. Allow the dough to cool for about 5-10 minutes until it is warm enough to handle.

Step 4

Once cooled, knead the dough while it is still warm, using your hands. The dough should be smooth and pliable. If it feels dry, add a little warm water, a teaspoon at a time, and continue kneading.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls.

Step 6

Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly between your palms or place it between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy rolling.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a disc about 1/4 inch thick. Dusting with rice flour can help prevent sticking.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or flat tawa over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled bhakari onto the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the bhakari for about 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip. Press gently with a clean cloth or spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Flip again until the bhakari is golden brown with a few charred spots. Optionally, apply a little clarified butter or oil over it for additional flavor.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
