Bhakri is a flat bread which is prepared in western and central India. When I bought Saffola oats, a free recipe booklet accompanied the pack. I found this recipe in the booklet. I prepared it with minor changes and it tasted wonderful. It is very crispy and very filling. I prepare it frequently for breakfast nowadays. This is a very healthy version and it goes well with any type of chutney or gravy.
Ingredients:
Quick Cooking Oats-2cups
Cumin Seeds-1tsp
Salt-to taste
Dill-2tbs ( Use any dried herb available in your pantry)
Red Chilly Flakes-1tsp
Olive Oil-To cook the bhakri
Procedure:
1. Grind 1cup oats to a fine powder.
2. In a bowl add the powder, the other cup of oats, cumin seeds, red chilly flakes, dill and salt. Mix well.
3. Add water and prepare a slightly sticky dough.
4. Let it rest for 15minutes.
5. The excess water will be absorbed by oats.
6. Knead the dough to make it pliable.
7. Pinch orange size portion and roll it into a ball.
8. Dust some wheat flour on the rolling board and rool out the dough ball into a flat thin circle. If it sticks dust with more flour.
9. Heat a tawa and place the bhakri on it.
10. Flip when one side is done. Drizzle some oil on the sides and cook it till the bhakri becomes crisp.
