Ingredients
- 250 grams jowar (sorghum) flour
- 200 milliliters hot water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams whole wheat flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add hot water to the flour and mix using a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture becomes a sticky dough.
Step 3
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable. This should take about 5-7 minutes. If the dough feels too dry, slightly wet your hands and continue kneading.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal-sized balls and cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Step 5
Sprinkle a clean surface with whole wheat flour and gently flatten a dough ball on it. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin, even circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Use additional flour to avoid sticking, if necessary.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot tawa. Cook for about 1 minute on one side until small bubbles start to appear.
Step 8
Flip the roti over with a spatula, and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing down gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Flip it again, cooking each side alternately for a few seconds until light brown spots appear and the roti puffs up slightly.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked roti to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining rotis.
Step 11
Serve hot with your choice of curry or yogurt.
