Roasted wheat bhakhri is a traditional Indian flatbread, popular in regions like Gujarat and Maharashtra. Made from whole wheat flour (atta), water, and a pinch of salt, the dough is kneaded to a firm consistency without any leavening agents. Small portions are rolled into thin, round discs and roasted on a hot tawa (griddle) until golden-brown spots appear on both sides, often with a slight crispness. Sometimes, a touch of ghee or oil is applied during roasting, enhancing its flavor and texture. Bhakhri has a rustic, nutty taste with a dense, slightly chewy texture, making it a hearty accompaniment to curries, vegetables, or pickles. Its simplicity and wholesome ingredients make it a staple in many households, often enjoyed for its crisp edges and soft center.
