I have written a couple of posts on millet earlier, the most popular being Millet as a part of daily alkaline diet (Ragi Dosa) and Millet breads.
This is a unique recipe which I learnt in my native place in South India. In this region Banana trees are commonly found and people make use of every part of the tree productively just as coconut tree.
I made a mixture of Ragi(nachani) flour, rice flour and jowar flour along with some onions, coriander and chillies and cooked it with the help of Banana leaves. The leaves give a mild flavour to the dish and can be made with very little oil.
Ingredients
For the batter
Rice flour- 1cup
Jowar flour - 1/2 cup
Ragi flour -1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Onions -chopped-1medium
Coriander leaves and green chillies- as required
water to make the batter
Oil to grease the banana leaves
Banana leaves- cut into small rectangles
Method:
Mix the ingredients for the batter and keep the consistency of the batter equivalent to Idli batter or which one can spread easily. Grease a banana leaf with a little oil.
Spread the batter on the leaf and cover with another greased leaf.
Heat a flat tava or griddle and place the entire assembly as shown in the picture.
Bake on both sides and remove the leaves when the bhakri is semi cooked
You can make use of the leaves again if you are careful not to burn them while cooking.
The bhakris are tasty and a mild flavour of the banana leaves is what makes this dish unique and distinctive.
It is a perfect option if you are bored with the same breakfast options and need "something different."
