Although you might have some slight difficulty in rolling the rice roti initially, you will get the hang of it within a few bhakris and then it will be a breeze! Traditionally these rotis are rolled also in a different way. Instead of rolling pin, they are patted with fingers and rolled to perfection. These are really soft and yummy and combine perfectly with spicy Red Chilli Thecha.

Tips for chawal bhakri. 1. After adding the rice flour to water at step 2 mix it continuously with the help of a wooden ladle. A steel ladle is usually not preferred as the dough may stick to it.

Since rice flour has a tendency to harden over time, serve these bhakris immediately on preparation.

I made Rice flour Bhakri as per your recipe. My younger son who never eats rice, liked this Bhakri so much that now a days he insists for Bhakri instead of Chapati........Thanks.
