An Indian bread prepared using Jower/Sorghum flour. This is the staple diet of North Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.
Cuisine: North Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat
Time Required: 20 Minutes
Makes: 8
Ingredients:
2 cups Jowar / Sorghum flour
1 Cup Hot water
Method:
Mix flour with water and knead thoroughly to make a dough. If required more water can be added. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Flatten the dough into a circular shape on a floured surface using palms.
Place the roti on a hot tava/griddle and apply water on the top side of the roti using a damp cloth.
Now turn the roti and roast for a minute and remove and directly put it on fire. It puffs up immediately. Remove to a serving dish.
Serve hot Bhakri – Jowar Roti with Butter, Yennagayi Palya/side dish prepared using Egg plant, Raitha, Ranjaka, Soppina Palya etc.,
Bhakri is a mouth watering dish for me. It looks great . I want to try it today .
In our house, my wife prepared Jowar Roti. But it is not as soft as one served in Kamath’s Minerva Circle, Bangalore. Her preparation is like Davangere’s dry roti.
How to prepare soft roti’s?
Hi Prafulla,
Ensure that the Jowar flour you buy is fresh. This is very important for the Bhakri to turn out soft. Knead the dough well before flattening.
Hope these tips help.
