Fara or Chawal Ke Fare is quick to make breakfast dish from Chhattisgarh made with just three ingredients like rice flour, salt, and oil. These make a healthy option for breakfast.
These Faras are more like Ammani Kozhukattai made during Ganesh Chaturthi with just bare minimum ingredients. I made it with just 1/2 cup of rice flour just for myself and it was good for a healthy option. This recipe takes only 15 to 20 mins from start to end. Even then I have been procrastinating for over two weeks.
I am doing BM#109 week 4 with A to Z Indian Breakfast Dishes, where today's turn is F.

Wow, that is such an interesting dish. Loved the name and didn't know what they were until I saw the photos and read the recipe. Awesome pick for the letter F.
Rajani says
There are so many regional variations of the same base recipe, right Valli? I am always surprised when people living so far away come up with almost the same recipe at a time when long distance communication was almost non existent. Anyway, that single serving of Fara looks great, not to mention healthy too.
