Begin by boiling 2.5 cups of water in a large saucepan. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and gradually add 2 cups of rice flour to the water while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Mix until the water is fully absorbed by the rice flour and a soft dough begins to form. Remove the mixture from the heat.
Allow the dough to cool slightly until it is warm enough to handle comfortably.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized portions, shaping each into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with rice flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin, round circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Heat a tawa or a flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled Bhakari on the tawa.
Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, until small bubbles appear, then flip and cook the other side. You may gently press the edges with a cloth to ensure even cooking.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges to help achieve a golden-brown color.
Continue cooking, flipping as needed, until both sides are equally cooked and slightly crispy.
Repeat for the remaining dough portions.
Serve the Sugar-Free Rice Bhakari hot with your choice of curry or a side of ghee or yogurt.
