Can I make jaggery bhature gluten-free?
Yes, you can make gluten-free Meethe Bhature by substituting wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend, such as almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, so you may need to adjust the liquid content to achieve the right dough consistency.
