Vanela Dhebra

🇮🇳 Indian

Gujarati bajra dhebra, jaggery-sweet roti for winter mornings. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Serve with any curry, dal or pickle on the table.

Prep 24 min Cook 12 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Sesame Seeds1 tsp
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Pearl Millet (Bajra)1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.

  2. 2

    Cover and rest; use this time to make the filling or get the pan hot.

  3. 3

    Portion the dough, stuff and pinch the seams closed, then roll with a feather touch so nothing bursts.

  4. 4

    Cook the first side dry, the second side with ghee, and finish directly on the flame for the puff.

  5. 5

    Slather with ghee, wrap in a clean cloth, and carry to the table warm.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
