SAMAAN

AISE BANAO.

01Whisk besan with 3 cups water and salt until lump free.
02Heat oil, add rai and jeera. When they crackle, add garlic, chillies and curry leaves.
03Add onion and cook until soft, then turmeric and chilli powder.
04Pour in the besan mix, stirring all the time. Cover and cook on low for 8 minutes, stirring now and then.
05Knead jowar flour with warm water, one bhakri at a time.
06Pat into a thin round, cook on a hot tawa, sprinkle water on top and flip.
07Puff the bhakri directly on the flame. Serve with pithla, onion and thecha.
RAMESHJI KA TIP“Chief Swaad Inspector approved. Sunder daalo, swaad badhao.”Stir pithla continuously when you add the besan, or it lumps at the bottom.

SAWAAL JAWAAB

Can I make it thicker?

Use 2 cups water for a spoonable pithla, or less for a set version.

Can I use bajra flour?

Yes. Bajra bhakri is just as common in winter.
