Tear the leftover Jowar Bhakri into small pieces and set aside.
Grind the chilies, garlic cloves, and cumin seeds roughly.
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat.
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. Once they start spluttering, add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and chili-garlic paste. Sauté for a minute until the garlic turns golden and aromatic.
Add the torn Bhakri pieces to the pan and mix thoroughly.
Lower the heat and add gram flour (besan) to the pan. Stir continuously and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add asafoetida (hing) and salt to taste. Mix well.
Serve this flavorful Bhakriche Kutke hot as a snack or a light meal.
Ensure the gram flour is roasted properly to avoid a raw taste.
Adjust the number of green chilies based on your spice preference.
Use fresh coriander leaves for a burst of flavor and aroma.
Cook on low heat to prevent the Bhakri pieces from becoming too dry.
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.
