Ingredients

• 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of jowar flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix them well.

Step 2

Gradually add 1.5 cups of warm water to the flour, stirring continuously with a spoon or your hand to form a soft dough. The warm water helps in binding the dough better.

Step 3

Once the dough begins to come together, knead it with your hands until it's smooth and pliable. If the dough feels sticky, add a little jowar flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover these dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5

Take one dough ball, place it on a clean surface lightly dusted with jowar flour, and gently flatten it with your hands to form a small disc.

Step 6

Using a rolling pin, roll the ball into a flat circle of about 5-6 inches in diameter. If the edges crack, gently press them together.

Step 7

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out roti onto the tawa.

Step 8

Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear. Flip it using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Apply a little ghee or oil around the edges while cooking to keep it moist and enhance flavor.

Step 10

Once both sides are cooked and have light brown spots, remove the roti from the tawa.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite curry or vegetable dish.
