Rava Bhakri With Carrots.

Rulav Bhakri (Rava Bhakri) with Carrots and Amul Butter ..........

The traditional method of preparing bhakri isby adding freshly grated coconut to the bhakri batter. However with changing times people are more aware of the benefits of adding veggies into daily diets for a healthy lifestyle. Also to ensure that the children who are otherwise becoming more and more fussier, this is a sure way to ensure that they eat a proper meal. I prepare Rava bhakri in so many methods, by adding different combinations of both veggies and other ingredients that I have lost count now. But then I do enjoy these experiments in the kitchen, which most of the time gives me surprises past my expectations. I have already posted a few methods before. Here I am posting another healthier version of bhakri which good for health for all including people including children.

In a bowl add 3 cups of ordinary rava (not the very fine chiroti variety), 1 cup of thin variety of poha / povu (optional), 2 tblsp of curds, 1-2 tsp of freshly grated coconut (Optional), 3-4 green chillies cut to fine pieces, salt to taste, 1 tblsp of Atta (Wheat flour), 1 tblsp grated ginger, a few leaves of curry leaves also cut finely. Add some finely chopped coriander leaves (Optional). Mix well and add 3-4 cups of water to make a very thick batter. Add more or less water depending upon the rava. Keep it aside for 20-30 minutes for the rava and poha to get soaked in and swell properly.

Peel and grate one large or two medium sized carrots and keep them ready. Add in the grated carrots and mix well again the batter so that the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. The texture should be that of bhakri / thick batter, you should be able to take a lump of it on your hands and pat it on the hot tawa into a nice round bhakri shape.

Heat tawa, when hot lower heat, apply some oil and spread it on tawa, Take some batter forming it into a ball with hands, put it on the center of the tawa and gently spread it, by patting it over with wet hands to make a nice round bhakri. 

Pour oil on sides of the bhakri and a few drop on the top of it. Cook on medium heat till almost done. Now flip over and cook the other side also. The process of making each bhakri will take around 5-7 minutes. Do not cook on high heat, as the bhakri will get burnt and not cooked within. Serve hot with homemade butter, pickle or chutney. You can serve it with Dalitoy too.
