Traditional Bajrichi Bhakri is the thick, hand-shaped pearl millet flatbread of Maharashtra — a close cousin of Gujarat’s Bajara Rotla, but made in the Maharashtrian bhakri tradition. Made from pure bajri (pearl millet) flour and water, this hearty, naturally gluten-free bread has been the staple of Maharashtra’s farming communities for generations, particularly during winter months when bajra flour was at its most nourishing. At Sukhadi Kitchen, Parul handmakes our Bajrichi Bhakri fresh to order in London, using the traditional hand-patting method.

Bajri (pearl millet) has a distinctly earthy, slightly sweet, robust flavour that wheat simply cannot match. The Bajrichi Bhakri is thick, filling, and warming — the bread of physical labour, long days in the fields, and cold winter evenings. Today it is celebrated as a return to wholesome, traditional eating.

The Sukhadi Kitchen Difference

Pure bajri, nothing added. Just pearl millet flour and water — the traditional recipe with no shortcuts or fillers.
Hand-patted, not rolled. Like all authentic bhakris, this is shaped entirely by hand on the tawa — no rolling pin, no machine. Parul’s technique produces the characteristic thick, uneven, beautiful surface of a proper bhakri.
Fresh to order. Made and dispatched within 48 hours. No freezing, no preservatives.
An ancient grain. Pearl millet has been cultivated in South Asia for over 4,000 years and is one of the world’s most resilient and nourishing grains.

What to Eat With Bajrichi Bhakri

• Lasan chutney (garlic chutney) — the most classic pairing across Gujarat and Maharashtra
• Zunka or Pithla — gram flour bhaji or curry: the iconic bhakri-zunka combination
• Tuvar dal — yellow split pigeon peas, simple and warming
• Brinjal bharit — smoked aubergine: a rustic, earthy pairing
• Raw onion, green chilli, and ghee — the village tradition, delicious in its simplicity

Serving tip: Best eaten fresh and hot. Reheat on a dry tawa for 1–2 minutes each side. Pearl millet bhakri is more crumbly than wheat bread — hold gently and fold rather than roll when eating.
