Bhakri with Jaggery and Ghee

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup millet flour
• 1 cup jaggery
• 1 cup ghee
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of millet flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder. Mix well.

2. 2

   Gradually add 1 cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands or a spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

3. 3

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

5. 5

   On a floured surface, flatten each ball into a thick disc (about 1/4 inch thick) using your hands or a rolling pin.

6. 6

   Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one bhakri on the skillet.

7. 7

   Cook the bhakri for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until it starts to puff up and develop brown spots.

8. 8

   Flip the bhakri and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with a spatula to help it puff.

9. 9

   Remove the cooked bhakri from the skillet, and brush one side with melted ghee. Repeat the process for the remaining bhakris.

10. 10

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of jaggery with a few tablespoons of water over low heat until it dissolves into a syrup.

11. 11

    Serve the warm bhakris drizzled with jaggery syrup and an extra dollop of ghee on the side.
