Cook the Bhakhris
Serve
Add 1 teaspoon of crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) or finely chopped fresh cilantro to the dough for a fragrant twist.
For a different texture, you can make it with other flours like jowar (sorghum) or bajra (pearl millet), or a combination.
Serve with a side of green chili and garlic chutney (lasun ni chutney) for a classic Gujarati combination.

One serving of two Masala Bhakhris contains approximately 390-420 calories, primarily from the whole wheat flour and ghee. The exact count can vary based on the amount of ghee used.
Yes, Masala Bhakhri can be a healthy choice. It's made from whole wheat flour, a good source of fiber, and beneficial spices. However, it is calorie-dense due to ghee. To make it healthier, reduce the ghee in the dough and skip applying it on top.
The most common reasons for a soft bhakhri are: 1) The dough was too soft; it must be very stiff. 2) Not enough 'moyan' (ghee rubbed into the flour). 3) Cooking on high heat. Always cook on a low to medium flame for an even, crispy result.
You can use oil instead of ghee for a vegan version. However, ghee provides a traditional flavor and contributes significantly to the crispy, flaky texture. Using oil will result in a slightly different taste and texture.
Once completely cooled, you can store Masala Bhakhris in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They are an excellent travel-friendly snack as they do not spoil easily.
