longer. You have come to the right place, here you will find tips, tricks and dietary comments to prepare puffy, crispy and healthy bhakri. For best results, knead the dough really very well and use it right away. However, you do need to keep practicing to make it a perfect round shape and crack free bhakri. I find it perfect, flavourful, easy and cozy dinner during the months of winter with some Indian curry. I also love this masala Bhakri, because it's indulgent and delicious enough to serve your family, when you want comfortable, homemade food. I served this masala Bhakri with spring onions and mix veg stir fry because it was exactly what I was craving.
           Pearl Millet commonly known as Bajra in India is rich in essential nutrients like protein, fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. Due to its rich composition of minerals and proteins, Pearl Millet or bajra has many health benefits. Bajra Bhakri is naturally gluten-free and non-allergenic and is an excellent grain for sensitive individuals, also a good source of high protein content makes it a substantial addition to a vegetarian diet. Bajra is a nutritious grain which is a high energy source and hence is used as a part of the meal during winters to keep the body warm. So let's start.
