Ingredients
- 2 cups Bilva Naturals Jowar Flour
- 1 cup hot water (approximately)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp oil plus extra for cooking
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, mix jowar flour and salt.
- 2Gradually add hot water while mixing with a spoon until it's cool enough to handle.
- 3Add 1 tbsp oil and knead into a soft, pliable dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more hot water.
- 4Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- 5Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
- 6Take a ball of dough and flatten it slightly with your palm.
- 7Place it between two pieces of plastic wrap or on a damp cloth.
- 8Using a rolling pin, gently roll it into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- 9Heat a tawa or flat pan on medium-high heat.
- 10Carefully transfer the roti to the hot tawa.
- 11Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form.
- 12Flip and cook the other side, pressing gently with a cloth or spatula.
- 13Apply a little oil on both sides and cook until golden brown spots appear.
- 14Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- 15Serve hot with curry, pickle, or ghee.
Chef's Tips
- Jowar flour doesn't contain gluten, so the dough can be tricky to handle. Using plastic wrap or a damp cloth helps prevent sticking.
- The water should be hot but not boiling.
- If the dough cracks while rolling, it's too dry. Add a little more water and knead again.
