Onion Bhakri or Kanyachi Bhakri is an authentic Goan dish that we make for breakfast or evening snacks. This easy flat bread made with rava is very simple to make and turns delicious. My family loves this Goan kandyachi bhakri and the kid loves to take it in her tiffin for snacks. It is a vegetarian flat bread which is a popular Goan evening snack.
Kandyachi Bhakri / Onion Bhakri is a popular Goan evening snack recipe. This is a flat bread made with semolina (rava) and onion.
As soon as I wake up early in the morning, a question which comes to my mind, is “what to cook for breakfast?”. Then I rush to my kitchen and check whatever is available. One fine day I found lots of rava or semolina in my kitchen. So I decided to cook onion bhakri or “Kanyachi Bhakri” and it turned out to be one of the best weekly breakfast option. To simplify it, a bhakri is a round flat unleavened bread.
