Bajrichi Bhakri – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

• Take bajri flour into a dish. Add salt to taste and mix well.
• Add hot water. Add a little water at a time and knead dough out of it.
• If your bajri flour is store bought, then do use hot water.
• But if you get it ground fresh from mill, then no need to use hot water.
• You can use regular water and knead the dough.
• While kneading press the flour well in your hand and roll it back and forth.
• Knead the dough for at least 4-5 minutes. The more you knead the dough the better the bhakri will be.
• Once done, take a small ball of dough. Make it even.
• Take rolling board and spread dry bajri flour on it.
• Start rolling the bhakri. Always flatten it sideways.
• When you have rolled the bhakri nice and thin, sprinkle some sesame seeds on it and press them a little on bhakri.
• Heat up a pan on medium heat. When pan is enough hot, transfer the rolled bhakri on it.
• Face the side having sesame seeds down wards on pan.
• Sprinkle a little water and spread it all over the bhakri.
• Roast for 2 minutes. Let the water dry up a bit.
• Flip over and roast the side on which we spread water for another 2 minutes.
• After 2 minutes, remove the pan and increase the heat of the gas.
• Now transfer the bhakri directly on heat and roast it.
• Flip over and roast from another side directly on heat as well.
• Bajrichi bhakri is already.
