Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour and salt, mixing them thoroughly.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously to form a soft dough. The dough should be pliable and smooth enough to handle. Adjust the water quantity as needed.
Step 3
Knead the dough well for about 5-7 minutes or until it is smooth. This helps to make the rotis soft and easy to roll.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized balls. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Step 5
Dust a clean, flat surface or a rolling board with some jowar flour.
Step 6
Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and begin rolling it into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Use gentle pressure while rolling to avoid tearing the dough.
Step 7
Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once hot, place the rolled-out roti on the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles start to appear.
Step 9
Flip the roti using a spatula and apply a small amount of ghee or oil around its edges. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until brown spots appear.
Step 10
Flip it one more time and gently press the edges with a spatula or a clean cloth for it to puff up slightly.
Step 11
Remove the roti from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Cover with a cloth to keep it warm.
Step 12
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 13
Serve the sugar-free jowar rotis warm with your favorite curry or vegetables.
