Bajra Roti is a very healthy unleavened flatbread made using Bajra flour which is also as Pearl Millet. This is good to have in winter.
Ingredients:
Bajra / Sajje / Pearl Millet Flour – 2 1/2 cups + for dusting
Water – 1 cup (approximately)
Salt to taste
Method:
- Boil water.
- In a large mixing bowl, take bajra flour and salt.
- Add 3/4 cup of hot water. Mix with a fork.
- Once it cools down to handle with your palm, knead it into a smooth dough. The dough must be soft and pliable but not stick to your palm. Add the remaining water, only if required.
- Make large lemon sized dough balls.
- Heat a griddle.
- Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface or chakla.
- Dust a dough ball with flour and place it on the chakla.
- Dust your palm slightly and using the heel of your hand, beat the dough ball, slowly sliding your palm to spread it into thin disc.
- Dust the disc with little flour if required.
- Carefully remove the disc from the chakla and place it on the preheated griddle.
- When small bubbles appear, flip the side and roast until small brown specks are formed.
- Remove from griddle and place it directly on full flame to fluff it up.
- Top it butter and serve hot with lahsun ki chutney or any gravy/curry of your choice.
