Dhebra (Gujarati: ઢેબરા) is an Indian bread from the Gujarati cuisine made of pearl millet flour. When flavoured with fenugreek leaves, it's called methi dhebra.

Preparation

To create dhebra, sufficient water and salt are mixed in millet flour to make a dough. The resulting dough balls are then flattened on a chakla to a round shape using a belan (rolling pin). Then, both sides of the dhebra are steamed with vegetable oil on a tava, until small brown spots appear.

This is a plain dhebra, made of millet flour (bajra atta). Because it is the simplest dhebra to make, it is the most commonly consumed in India. Another variety is the methi dhebra, in which methi (fenugreek leaves) are added as flavour.

Flavour

Fenugreek, Garlic, Guardian, Bottle Gourd, Cumin
