Almond Bhakri, Gluten Free Almond Bhakri
by Tarla Dalal
For many, the aroma of bhakri cooking on the tawa is reminiscent of home-cooked food! Here, we introduce you to a totally off-beat Almond Bhakri. As you will surmise from the name, the Almond Bhakri is quite a rich treat, but it is healthy and gluten-free too, so anybody can go for it.
Almonds contain a lot of healthy fats, fibre, protein, magnesium and vitamin E. It helps lower blood sugar levels, reduces blood pressure and keeps cholesterol under check. You will be pleasantly surprised to know that the Almond Bhakri is also good for weight-loss, as almonds and ghee have perfect fats that keep you full for longer.
Enjoy these gluten-free bhakris with full-fat curds , a paneer-based subzi or dal to make a tasty meal. Just take care while making the bhakri, as it should only be patted and not rolled.

Following the recipe did not work out for me - the thing just disintegrated. But it was still tasty sprinkled on top of yogurt. I was able to save the rest of the mixture by adding 2 eggs and 2 tbsp whole wheat flour - that held the shape pretty well on the pan.
hello, where can i see the nutrient table?
Hi, a quick question. The macros claim 1.8g carbs and 2g fiber per bhakri. So negative net carbs? How''s that possible. 1/4 cup soaked almonds have 6g carbs & 3g fiber giving 3g net carbs. Can you please clarify? Am on a very specific macro diet & need exact numbers. Thanks
it''s yummy. ....
Good recipe for those who are gluten free and also this is a high fat healthy recipe. For ghee lovers, you will like this.
