Ingredients
1 cup Pearl Millet (Bajra Flour)
1 cup Water
as needed Pink Himalayan Salt
Desi ghee : To serve
Instructions
Step 1— Prepare the Dough Base
1
In a saucepan, add one cup of water and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt.
2
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
3
Add one cup of bajra flour to the boiling water.
4
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about one and a half to two minutes.
5
Turn off the heat and thoroughly mix the flour and water using the back of a wooden spoon.
6
Allow the mixture to cool down for approximately ten minutes.
Step 2— Knead the Dough
1
Transfer the cooled mixture to a plate.
2
Knead the mixture well until it forms a soft, smooth dough.
3
Once smooth, divide the dough into equal-sized balls and set them aside.
Step 3— Roll the Rotis
1
Take a dough ball and coat it lightly with dry bajra flour.
2
Gently flatten the ball with your fingers before rolling it out with a rolling pin. This technique helps prevent the edges from cracking since bajra is gluten-free.
Step 4— Cook the Rotis
1
Heat a cast-iron tawa (griddle).
2
Place the rolled-out roti on the hot tawa and keep the flame on low.
3
Wait for small bubbles to form on the surface of the roti, then flip it over.
4
Once flipped, the roti should puff up. Continue cooking until done to your liking.
Step 5— Serving
1
Serve the rotis warm, ideally with a teaspoon of desi ghee for better nutrient absorption.
2
To keep the rotis soft for a longer period, wrap them in a clean cotton napkin.
