Cabbage and Carrot Rice Bhakri: A Healthy, Gluten-Free Flatbread

 

Cabbage and Carrot Rice Bhakri is a wholesome and innovative gluten-free zero oil bhakri that combines nutrition with authentic Indian flavors. Made primarily from 1 cup rice flour (chawal ka atta), this recipe integrates finely chopped vegetables and aromatic spices to create a satisfying flatbread. The addition of 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania), and 1 tsp finely chopped green chillies provides a fresh and vibrant taste. A touch of 1/2 tsp crushed cumin seeds (jeera) enhances the aroma, while salt to taste is used judiciously, making it ideal for those managing blood pressure. This Low Sodium Vegetable Bhakri is not only healthy but also rich in fiber and natural goodness, making it a perfect choice for health-conscious individuals.

 

Preparing the Flavorful Dough

 

The preparation begins by combining rice flour (chawal ka atta) with onions, coriander, green chillies, cumin seeds, and salt in a deep bowl. Meanwhile, 1/2 cup chopped cabbage and 1/4 cup grated carrot are cooked in boiling water until tender. This step ensures the vegetables are soft and blend seamlessly into the dough. The cooked vegetable mixture is then added to the rice flour, creating a base that is both flavorful and easy to knead. The result is a soft, pliable dough that requires no additional water, thanks to the moisture from the vegetables. This method not only simplifies the process but also locks in the nutrients and flavors of the ingredients.

 

 

Shaping and Cooking

 

Once the dough is ready, it is divided into 11 equal portions and shaped into thick circles using a little rice flour for rolling. The bhakris are then cooked on a non-stick tava (griddle) until both sides turn light brown. The absence of oil in the cooking process ensures the bhakris remain light and healthy. The rustic texture and homely flavor of these bhakris are a testament to the simplicity and wholesomeness of the recipe. The combination of cabbage and carrot adds a subtle sweetness and crunch, while the spices provide a delightful pungency that elevates the overall taste.

 

 

Versatile and Health-Conscious

 

This Cabbage and Carrot Rice Bhakri is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a breakfast item, a snack, or even a main course. Its gluten-free zero oil nature makes it suitable for those with dietary restrictions or anyone aiming to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The use of low sodium ingredients ensures it aligns with heart-healthy dietary guidelines, without compromising on taste. The bhakris are best served hot and fresh, right off the tava, to fully appreciate their soft texture and aromatic flavors. Pair them with a side of yogurt, chutney, or a simple vegetable curry for a complete meal.

 

 

Mindful Cooking Techniques

 

A key highlight of this recipe is its emphasis on natural ingredients and mindful cooking techniques. The rice flour (chawal ka atta) serves as a gluten-free base, while the vegetables and spices contribute both nutrition and taste. The zero oil cooking method not only reduces calorie intake but also allows the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. This bhakri is an excellent way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, especially for those who may be hesitant to consume them in their raw form. The recipe is straightforward, making it accessible even to novice cooks.
