Ingredients

• 100 grams chickpea flour (besan)
• 100 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams soy flour
• 20 grams flaxseed meal
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 150 milliliters water
• 1 tablespoon ghee or clarified butter (optional for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, soy flour, and flaxseed meal.

Step 2

Add salt, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil over the dry ingredients and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring with your hand or a spatula, until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more whole wheat flour as needed.

Step 6

Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a 6-inch disc approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Step 9

Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Place a rolled bhakri onto the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear on the surface.

Step 11

Flip the bhakri, and apply a small amount of ghee or clarified butter if using.

Step 12

Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.

Step 13

Remove the bhakri from the skillet and keep warm by wrapping in a clean cloth. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 14

Serve hot with dal, yogurt, or your favorite curry.
