Ba's Keda Ni Bhakri (Banana Flatbread)

Makes: Approximately 8 Bhakri

Ingredients:
1 cup Whole Wheat Sujata Ata Flour
1 Jalapeno, shredded
Salt, to taste
Ghee (Clarified Butter) - 1/2 tsp
1 Ripe Banana (the more ripe it is, the better it will taste!)
Jeeru Powder (Cumin Powder)
Optional - If these ingredients do not form a nice dough, use water as needed

Iron Pan
Cooking Oil

Preparation:
1. Mix all the ingredients together and form into a Bhakri Dough (similar to pizza dough)...one you can roll out into circles with a rolling pin/velan.
2. Roll out one at a time the same way you would make Bhakri (see pictures below).
3. Place them one at a time on the iron pan with the gas flame on low-medium.
4. When you see bubbles popping up, the Bhakri is semi-cooked on one side and is ready to be flipped.
5. Flip the Bhakri and allow it to cook another 30-40 seconds on that side.
6. Now add some cooking oil and spread evenly all over the Bhakri. Flip and repeat the same thing on the other side.
7. Remove immediately from the gas and place in separate dish so they can cool.
8. Enjoy as many as you want now, and put the rest in a closed container with a tight lid so they stay nice and soft for the next time you want your fill!
