Jowar Bhakri Aur Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

Jowar bhakri with dry garlic chutney, the Maharashtra plateau staple. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.

Prep 39 min Cook 23 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Sorghum (Jowar)1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.

  3. 3

    Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.

  4. 4

    Cook on a hot tawa till brown blisters form, flip, then finish over an open flame (or in the pan with ghee) till it puffs.

  5. 5

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

Chef's tip

Rest the dough or it will fight you at the rolling pin.
