Steps
- 1
Mix 1 cup Jowar flour + 1/5 th cup Wheat flour + salt + water in a bowl to make a soft but not wet dough.
- 2
Knead for a minute. You don't have to knead the dough too much or rest it because Jowar does not contain gluten.
- 3
Divide into three portions
- 4
Place a tawa on high heat

Take one of the portions of dough and roll it between your palms to form a spherical shape. place it on the Chakla. Smother the dough in flour. You don't want it to stick to the surface because it tears very easily.

Transfer the bhakri onto a wire mesh grill (as shown in the photo) and hold it over the naked flame. The bhakri should puff up. Heat it for 10 - 15 seconds on each side and repeat until the Bhakri smells done.
