Freshly baked Bhakri Indian Flatbread

Bhakri - Indian Flatbread

Bhakri is a traditional Indian flatbread primarily consumed in the Maharashtra and Gujarat regions. This hearty flatbread is the perfect accompaniment to spicy Indian dishes, as it absorbs the flavors of curries and sauces well. The bhakri dough is simple and quick to prepare, as it does not require proofing. It's a staple in the daily diet of many Indian families and is often eaten brushed with butter or ghee. Its dry, crispy texture allows it to be stored for longer periods, making it ideal for travel.
