Kashmiri Bakarkhani – Flaky, Layered Bread for Traditional Chai Moments
Bring home a piece of Kashmiri tradition with Bakarkhani – a thick, mildly sweet, layered bread often enjoyed with noon chai or kehwa. With its unique texture and subtle flavor, this baked delicacy is perfect for tea lovers looking to try something classic yet special.
🫓 What is Bakarkhani?
Bakarkhani is a traditional flatbread known for its slightly crisp exterior, soft interior, and layered, biscuit-like texture. It’s thicker than regular bread and carries a mild sweetness, often enhanced by ghee and a hint of cardamom.
Common in Kashmiri households, Bakarkhani is typically served during tea time, at gatherings, or even as a light snack. Its structure makes it ideal for dipping into hot beverages without falling apart, and its flavor complements both sweet and salty pairings.
✅ How to Enjoy Bakarkhani:
- With Noon Chai: The most popular way to enjoy it. Dip it into a hot cup of salted pink tea for a rich, comforting experience.
- With Kehwa: Pairs beautifully with saffron kehwa for a festive feel.
- Toasted with Butter: Warm it slightly and add a bit of butter or ghee for a richer snack.
- With Honey or Jam: Turn it into a light dessert with a sweet topping.
🔄 Heating & Storage Instructions:
- Reheat: Lightly warm on a tawa (pan) or in an oven at 150°C for 2–3 minutes to refresh its texture.
- Storage: Store in a dry, airtight container at room temperature. For longer shelf life, refrigeration is recommended. Best enjoyed within a week.
