Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 optional Green chili, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine jowar flour and olive oil. Mix well to incorporate the oil into the flour.
Step 2
Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously with your hands until a soft dough forms. The consistency should be pliable but not sticky.
Step 3
Add in the chopped coriander leaves and green chili (if using). Knead the dough for another 5 minutes to combine the ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Place one dough ball on a flat surface dusted with jowar flour. Flatten the ball slightly, then gently roll it out into a circular shape about 6 inches in diameter, ensuring the roti does not stick to the rolling surface.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Once hot, place the roti on the tawa.
Step 7
Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side or until you see bubbles forming. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Optionally, you can cook it on an open flame directly for about 5-10 seconds to puff it up, but this step is optional.
Step 9
Remove the cooked roti and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Step 10
Serve the jowar rotis warm with your favorite side dishes.
