Dudhi Jowar Dhebra - another famous snack or farsan from the land of Gujarat. Dhebra is a popular breakfast item which is deep fried, puri like snack made from bajri flour or jowar flour. It is filling and delicious. Dudhi Jowar Dhebra is also famous carry on food for trips & picnics just like Thepla as it does not get spoiled for 2-3 days.

For the health conscious, you can avoid deep frying and cook it like Paratha on tawa with little oil but make sure to roll it more thin.

In this recipe, I have squeezed out the excess moisture from dudhi so it gets easier to work with the dough. If you want to retain the moisture you can do that as well but be gentle with handling the dough.
