Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh jowar atta
- Hot water, as needed
- A pinch of salt
- Extra jowar atta for dusting
Method
- 1
Mix the jowar atta with salt, then add hot water a little at a time and knead into a smooth dough while it is still warm.
- 2
Take a ball of dough and pat it by hand on a dusted surface into a thin round. Jowar has no gluten, so avoid a rolling pin.

Cook on a hot tawa for about 30 seconds, then flip.
- 4
Sprinkle a little water on the top, flip again and puff the bhakri directly on the flame.
- 5
Serve hot with thecha, curry or a spoon of ghee.
Make it with fresh-ground atta
Milled the day you order, in the grind you choose.
