It is currently fall here in the USA, my favorite season. Fall brings with it different kinds of squash and pumpkins. I love to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. Besides being healthy to be eaten at their peak seasons, they are delicious! Growing up I hated pumpkins and anything belonging to that family. I guess it was because the only thing I ate was bhaji made of it. I disliked the mushy texture! Now I know the value of these ingredients and hence try to make different recipes from them. This is one such creation of mine where I have made a bhakri using honey squash (feel free to use any squash available to you) with jawar flour. I have added chia seeds and flax seeds since they are rich in fiber and work well to fight mid day cravings. If your kid is a picky eater this is a great way to hide these beautiful fall ingredients in their meals.

What you will need:

How to make it:

• Soak chia seeds and flax seeds in 1 cup of warm water for at least 3 hours. I usually like to do this step the night before.
• Wash, peel and grate squash of your choice. I used honey squash for this recipe.
• In a mixing bowl, add jowar flour, grated squash, chia seeds, flax seeds and salt.

  

• Depending on the kind of squash you use, add more water if needed. Some squashes have more water content than others. The mixture has to be runny but not watery.
• Mix all the ingredients well together.
• Heat a frying pan and add a few drops of oil.
• Take some of this batter and spread it on the pan to form a circle.

  

• Cover and let it cook for about a minute. Remove the cover and let the bhakri crisp on a medium flame.
• Flip it over. Add another few drops of oil and cook until crisp.

  

• Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• Serve hot with chutney or pickle for breakfast.
