Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine bajra flour and salt (if using).
- Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- On a floured surface, flatten each ball and roll it out into a round shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until light brown spots appear. Optionally, you can apply ghee or oil on one side while cooking.
- Remove from heat and keep warm in a container lined with a cloth. Serve with your choice of curry or vegetable dish.
Tips
- Ensure the dough is soft but not sticky for easier rolling.
- Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
