Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Pearl Millet Flour bajra flour
- 1/2 cup Fenugreek Leaves methi, finely chopped, fresh
- 1 pinch Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Paste
- 2 tbsp Oil for mixing into the dough + for cooking
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed to make a stiff dough
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine pearl millet flour, chopped fenugreek leaves, asafoetida, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garlic paste, and salt. Mix well.
Knead the Dough
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the well. Gradually add water, mixing and kneading until a stiff, slightly firm dough forms. The dough should not be sticky.
Shape and Cook the Dhebras
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Lightly grease your palms with oil to prevent sticking. Roll each ball into a small, thick disc or patty (about 1/4 inch thick).
Cook on the Tawa
- Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Cook the dhebras on the tawa, flipping once, until they are golden brown and cooked through on both sides. Cook time will vary, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve
- Serve the hot Bajra Methi Na Dhebras immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a side of chutney or yogurt.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Bajra Methi Na Dhebra
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough.
- If your dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa; cook the dhebras in batches to ensure even browning.
- For a crispier dhebra, use a little extra oil for cooking.
