These days I make it without any leaves/paper. Just spread it on the tava. It does not have same aroma as making on the leaf though.

Hi Shilpa,

This dish brings me sweet memories of my amma(grandma), she used to do it for all her battalion of grandkids and family. If i am right she used to grind rice and coconut. I do not remember my mom doing it.
Pl do tell me which chinese store did u find the banana leaf. If you do not get banana leaf how do u use the parchment paper? I think it melts once put on hot tawa.

Sorry, I don't know what butter paper is. But according to this article, you can use butter paper too.

Hi shilpa

My mom also adds green chillies, cilantro and a small qty of rava to the other mumbri ingredients while making it… and we love to eat it with butter and chatni-pitto

i have tried this bhakri on large haldi (turmeric) leaves. the aroma is even more exotic and the taste is infinitely enhanced! try it.

Hi Shilpa,
There is a lovely gujju dish that is similar to this – it is called Panki ( you have already posted the comment I see)
However, it is made with sour rice dough – either fermeted or soured up with one / two day old curd / buttermilk and cooked witha bit of Ghee / Butter & seved with Papaya chutney or Marcha nu achar! Absolutely delicious!

Hi Shilpa

Nice to see that you have included one of the most favorate food of Sirsi-Siddapura regions. Recently i had dinner in a Gujarathi styled wedding, there i found a similar kind to Mumbri but its in different Gujarathi name. Please can you provide me more details on Gujarathi Mumbri ?

Shilpa: I googled for it and found it is called panki. I will see if I can find more details

Today, CHOLKYA VAYLI BHAKRI was shown on MiMarathi Channel in their Cookery Show (between 02.30 and 3.00) LAAJATDAR, with the name PAANGI. The celebrity guest in the show used Milk instead of water, but she failed to mention the side dish for CVB.
