Bajra roti
A traditional Indian flatbread made from pearl millet flour, typically served with curries, pickles, or yogurt.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bajra flour, whole wheat flour, salt, chopped coriander leaves, ajwain seeds, and sesame seeds.
- Add the ghee or oil to the flour mixture and mix well with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, little by little, and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. Adjust the water as necessary.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
- Dust a clean surface with some flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Using your palms or a rolling pin, gently roll it out into a 6-inch diameter circle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled roti on the tawa.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- Apply a little ghee or oil on both sides of the roti and press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook until both sides have brown spots and are cooked through.
- Remove from the tawa and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve hot with your choice of curry, pickles, or yogurt.
