BAJRA NA DHEBRA

BAJRA NA DHEBRA

Bajri, bajra or millet is a popular ingredient in the Gujarati household.  Bajra flour is used to make Rotal, Thepla or Dhebra.
Bajra Dhebra is a flatbread made with a mixture of millet flour, wheat flour and chickpea flour.  The flours are combined in a large spacious bowl, then the spices and herbs are added along with the garlic paste and chillies. The mixture is brought together with dahi (yoghurt) to form a pliable dough which is then flattened into a disc (about 3-4mm deep) and then gently shallow fried in ghee on a medium heat.
Served hot or cold with a cup of masala tea or dahi and lassun chatni these are a perfect meal.  I have listed below the quantities of flour and spices that can be used to form the dough and make these delicious dhebra.
