A traditional flatbread made from ragi (finger millet), Nagli Bhakri is a staple in tribal and rural homes across Dahanu. Rich in calcium and iron, it is a power-packed meal enjoyed with spicy chutneys, smoked vegetables, or dry fish preparations.
Soft yet slightly crispy at the edges, the bhakri is traditionally patted by hand and cooked on a clay griddle, infusing it with a smoky, earthy flavor that reflects the rustic charm of coastal Maharashtra.
Freshly made Nagli Bhakri served hot with the aroma of village kitchens.
Nagli Bhakri is often cooked during festivals and local gatherings. It's not just a food item—it is a celebration of simplicity, sustainability, and cultural identity. In many tribal homes, bhakris are cooked on wood-fired stoves, served with thecha (green chili chutney), and eaten with bare hands.
Traditional steps: Mixing → Shaping → Slow Cooking on Fire
Visit any Warli tribal village, roadside eatery, or homestay in Dahanu for an authentic bhakri experience. Often served with patichya bhaji (leafy veg curry) and raw mango chutney during monsoon.
