Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 1.5 cups Hot water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Extra rice flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Start by boiling 1.5 cups of water until it reaches a rolling boil. Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, place 2 cups of rice flour. Gradually pour the hot water over the flour while stirring continuously with a wooden spatula to form a dough.
Step 3
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and free of lumps. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Dust a clean surface with extra rice flour. Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly with your hand, and roll it out gently with a rolling pin to a 6-inch diameter circle. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 6
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the rolled out bhakari onto the skillet.
Step 7
Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until you see bubbles form on the surface. Flip the bhakari and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
For fluffier bhakaris, use a clean cloth to gently press down on the edges while cooking, which helps them puff up.
Step 9
Remove the cooked bhakari from the skillet and keep it warm in a cloth-lined basket or container while you cook the remaining bhakaris.
Step 10
Serve the Vegan Rice Bhakari hot, preferably with a side of spicy curry or chutney.
