Ingredients

• 2 cups Millet flour (Bajra)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Ghee or oil
• 1.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine millet flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Stir in cumin seeds and sesame seeds.

Step 2

Add the ghee or oil to the dry ingredients and mix well until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the flour mixture while mixing. Knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable. Depending on the exact moisture content of your flour, you may need slightly more or less water.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Take a ball of dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thick, round disc about 5 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled bhakri on the pan.

Step 7

Cook the bhakri on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip it over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Press the edges of the bhakri with a cloth or spatula to ensure it's evenly cooked.

Step 9

Remove the bhakri from the pan and keep it warm under a towel or in a covered container. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve hot sugar-free bhakris with your favorite curry, chutney, or yogurt.
