Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Oil or ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and oil.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the rice flour while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Once all the flour is added, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly, just enough to handle.

Step 4

While still warm, knead the dough gently with your hands until it is smooth and pliable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a clean, flat surface, flatten one of the balls slightly, then roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Use a little rice flour on the rolling pin and surface to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled bhakari onto the hot surface.

Step 8

Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the bottom has brown spots, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the bhakari and cook the other side, pressing gently with a cloth or spatula, until it puffs up and brown spots appear, about another 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite curry or side dish.
