Step 5:     Heat a griddle / tawa. When the tawa is hot, place the rolled bhakri on the griddle. Cook the bhakri on that side on medium heat till you see some bubble like things forming on the top side. Flip over when you see that and cook for another minute. Lower the heat and coat the top side with a few drops of ghee. Flip over and apply ghee to the other side. Cook whilst flipping in between for another 1 to 2 minutes till the bhakri is well roasted.

Repeat the last two steps for all the other bakris individually. Spread some butter on the bhakri before serving (optional)

Note:

  • You can adjust the sugar and salt to your liking.
