Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (Sorghum) Flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of jowar flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Step 2
Gradually add 1.5 cups of hot water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously using a wooden spoon to form a soft, pliable dough.
Step 3
Allow the dough to cool slightly until it's comfortable to handle, then knead it gently with your hands for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean surface with jowar flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out roti onto the skillet.
Step 7
Cook for 1-2 minutes until brown spots appear on the bottom. Then flip the roti using a spatula to cook the other side for another minute.
Step 8
If desired, gently press the edges of the roti with a clean cloth or spatula to encourage it to puff up.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the roti from the skillet and place it in a clean dishcloth to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite vegetable curry or yogurt for a heart-healthy meal.
