Masala Jowar Bhakri Recipe is made from Jowar, a millet variety that is gluten free. Jowar Bhakri is a traditional breakfast that is popular in Maharashtra and parts of Karnataka. It is popularly called farmer's breakfast. The Bhakri dough is shaped using hand which requires little skill and practice. Instead of shaping the bhakri directly on the tava, you can grease a banana leaf or parchment paper and shape them. Invert the dough side on to the hot tawa and slowly remove the banana leaf/parchment paper.

In this Masala Bhakri Recipe, finely chopped onions, green chillies and plenty of fresh herbs such as curry leaves and cilantro are used .

Serve these bhakris with onions, Hurali Kalu Chutney Recipe, Paruppu Thogayal Recipe or a tangy gravy like Senai Kizhangu Ghostu Recipe.
