Dhebra

Ingredients(for 2 medium dhebra per serving)

• 1 cup Bajra atta (pearl millet flour) (बाजरा का आटा)
• 1/2 cup Whole wheat atta (गेहूं का आटा)
• 1/2 cup, finely chopped Fresh methi leaves (मेथी)
• 1/4 cup Low-fat curd (दही)
• 1, finely chopped Green chilli (हरी मिर्च) - optional
• 1/2 tsp Ginger paste (अदरक पेस्ट)
• 1/2 tsp Ajwain (carom seeds) (अजवाइन)
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder (हल्दी)
• 1 tsp, grated Jaggery (गुड़) - optional
• to taste Salt (नमक)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (तिल)
• 2 tsp Oil (for kneading and cooking)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine bajra atta, whole wheat atta, finely chopped methi leaves, green chilli, ginger paste, ajwain, turmeric powder, sesame seeds, and salt. Add grated jaggery if using for a mild sweetness.

   5 minutes

   Mix dry ingredients well so the spices are evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Add curd and 1 teaspoon oil to the flour mixture. Gradually add water as needed and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   10 minutes

   Resting the dough helps the flours absorb moisture for softer dhebra.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a 4-inch round, dusting with atta as necessary to prevent sticking.

   5 minutes

   Keep the thickness even for uniform cooking.

4. 4

   Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium flame. Place one rolled dhebra onto the hot tawa and cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear.

   2 minutes

   Ensure the tawa is hot before placing the dhebra for proper puffing.
