Plain bhakri is a traditional Maharashtrian flatbread made from coarse grains like jowar (sorghum), bajra (pearl millet), or rice flour. It's a staple food in many parts of Maharashtra and is known for its simplicity and versatility.

To prepare plain bhakri, the flour is mixed with water and kneaded into a stiff dough. Small portions of the dough are then flattened into thin discs by patting with the palm of the hand, traditionally on a tava (griddle) or on a surface like a banana leaf. The flattened discs are then cooked on a hot griddle until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

Plain bhakri is typically served hot and enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments such as curries, dals, chutneys, or pickles. It's a nutritious and wholesome option for a meal, especially when paired with spicy or savory dishes.
