Chulivarchi bhakri
Chulivarchi bhakri is a traditional Maharashtrian dish made with jowar (sorghum) flour. It is a type of flatbread that is typically cooked on a griddle or tawa. The dough is made with jowar flour, water, and sometimes other ingredients like spices or herbs. It is then rolled out into a flat disc and cooked until crispy on the outside. Chulivarchi bhakri is often enjoyed with a side of vegetables, curries, or chutneys.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. The dough should be firm but pliable.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls.
- Take a dough ball and flatten it on a clean surface to form a disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled out dough disc on the hot griddle.
- Cook the bhakri for a few minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Brush the bhakri with a little oil while cooking to make it crispier.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls to make more bhakris.
- Serve the hot Chulivarchi bhakri with your favorite curry, chutney, or vegetable dish.
- Enjoy!
