FAQS
Can I use fresh Bhakri instead of leftover Bhakri?
Yes, you can use fresh Bhakri, but the texture might differ slightly as leftover Bhakri tends to absorb flavors better.
What can I substitute for gram flour?
You can use rice flour or wheat flour as a substitute, but gram flour adds a unique nutty flavor to the dish.
Is this dish spicy?
The dish has a mild to medium spice level due to the green chilies. You can adjust the spice level by reducing or increasing the number of chilies.
Can I store Bhakriche Kutke for later?
It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container for up to a day. Reheat before serving.
What other flatbreads can I use for this recipe?
You can use other flatbreads like Bajra (pearl millet) or Ragi (finger millet) Bhakri for a similar dish.
