Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 2.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by boiling 2.5 cups of water in a large saucepan. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Mix until the water is fully absorbed by the rice flour and a soft dough begins to form. Remove the mixture from the heat.
Step 4
Allow the dough to cool slightly until it is warm enough to handle comfortably.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized portions, shaping each into a ball.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Heat a tawa or a flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled Bhakari on the tawa.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges to help achieve a golden-brown color.
Step 11
Continue cooking, flipping as needed, until both sides are equally cooked and slightly crispy.
Step 12
Repeat for the remaining dough portions.
Step 13
Serve the Sugar-Free Rice Bhakari hot with your choice of curry or a side of ghee or yogurt.
