Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, first mix the rice flour and the salt.
2. Now start adding the luke warm water little by little and knead the dough.
3. The dough will take time to knead as you need a soft dough.
4. Once the dough has been kneaded, make even portions of it and then shape each one into a ball.
5. On your work surface, sprinkle some rice flour and press the dough ball flat on the surface using your hand.
6. Make it as flat as possible using your hand but not too thin else it will fall apart.
7. Not heat up an iron skillet or tava and put the bhakri on it.
8. Spread a little water using your hands on the bhakri and flip to cook the other side.
9. Once the bhakri develops brown spots on both sides, it means it is cooked and you can dab some ghee on it and serve immediately.
