Fansi Dhokli, Jowar Bhakri and Fried Egg

Ingredients

• 2 cup jowar atta
• 1.5 cup hot water (for kneading)
• 0.75 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp ghee (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix together the jowar flour and salt. Gradually pour in the hot water while mixing with a spoon. The water should be hot but manageable to touch. Once the flour comes together, knead it with the heel of your palm for 5-7 minutes until you get a smooth, soft, and pliable dough. It should not be sticky. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into equal portions.

3. 3

   Pat the bhakri: Take one portion of the dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Sprinkle some dry jowar flour on a clean, flat surface or a chakla (rolling board). Place the dough ball on the floured surface and gently flatten it with your palm. Using your fingers and palm, start patting the dough, rotating it simultaneously to form an even, thin circle of about 5-6 inches in diameter. Dust with more flour as needed to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Cook the bhakri: Heat a cast iron tawa or griddle over medium-high heat. It should be hot before you place the bhakri on it. Carefully lift the patted bhakri and place it on the hot tawa. Sprinkle a little water on the top surface and spread it evenly with your fingers. Cook for about 1 minute, until the water evaporates and the top looks dry. Flip the bhakri and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until light brown spots appear. Using tongs, lift the bhakri and place it directly on a medium flame. It will puff up like a balloon. Flip and cook the other side on the direct flame for a few seconds. Avoid burning it. Repeat the process for all the remaining dough balls.

5. 5

   Serve the Jowar Bhakri immediately, smearing a little ghee on top if you like.

Ingredients

• 2 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Ghee (Can be substituted with vegetable oil)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
• 0.25 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 0.25 tsp Red Chili Powder (Adjust to your spice preference)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper Powder (Freshly ground is best)
• 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves (Finely chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat ghee in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the ghee coats the bottom evenly.

2. 2

   Gently crack the eggs into the hot pan, leaving space between them. Be careful not to break the yolks.

3. 3

   Immediately sprinkle the salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and black pepper powder evenly over the eggs.

4. 4

   Cook for 2-3 minutes. For a runny yolk (sunny-side up), cook until the whites are completely set. For a jammy yolk, cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking to steam the top. For a fully cooked yolk, gently flip the egg and cook for another 30-60 seconds.

5. 5

   Using a spatula, carefully slide the fried eggs onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.
