Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed powder
- 1.5 cups Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and flaxseed powder. Stir well to ensure both are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Gradually add the hot water into the flour mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, begin mixing the ingredients together until they start to form a dough.
Step 3
Add the olive oil and salt to the dough. You may omit the salt for a lower sodium option. Mix until the dough becomes smooth and pliable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions, forming small balls of about 2 inches in diameter. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Step 5
Take one dough ball and gently flatten it on a clean surface. Using your hands, press it evenly into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Use a little rice flour if the dough sticks.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or a tava on medium heat. Carefully place the flattened bhakari onto the hot skillet.
Step 7
Cook on one side until it begins to show light brown spots (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side.
Step 8
Once both sides of the bhakari are cooked, remove it from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping in a towel. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Step 9
Serve the heart-healthy rice bhakari warm with your choice of low-fat yogurt or any curry of your preference.
