Horse gram is a potential grain legume having excellent nutritional and remedial properties. It is less expensive source of protein and is also rich in minerals. An attempt was made to develop bhakari and chapati by incorporating horse gram flour at different levels. Control products were prepared without incorporating horse gram flour whereas experimental products were developed with varying levels of horse gram flour. Sensory evaluation, nutritional analysis and storage study was carried out for the value added products. Results showed that bhakari and chapati were well acceptable at 20 per cent level. Incorporation of 20 per cent of horse gram flour helped to increase protein, total minerals, calcium and iron in the developed products. Bhakari and chapati can be stored up to 24 hours in air tight steel container at room temperature. It can be concluded that horse gram flour can be utilized for development of value added bhakari and chapati. It can serve as a vehicle to enhance the nutrients such as protein, iron, total minerals, calcium and especially fiber content of the products.
