Bajra
Roti
Bajra roti is a
very easy recipe as such, but the trick is to make the roti. All you
need is Bajra flour, salt to taste and water. Mix to form a dough. The
dough is not as smooth as the chappati dough as the gluten content is
low in bajra. You do not need oil in the dough.

- 2 cups bajra
flour
- Water to
make dough
- Salt to
taste
Form a stiff
dough with the ingredients above. Make 2 inch size balls.
Flatten each
ball into a round shape with your hands. On a piece of saran wrap
place the flattened dough and keep forming a round roti shape while
turning using a little water, so that you get a roti about 6 inches in
diameter. The thickness should be about 1/8th inch.
Using
the water to shape the roti is very important.
Heat a
tava or frying pan. Place the roti in the middle. Now make
your palm wet and smear the top with a little water. Now turn the roti
over. Cook the other side till done. Serve hot with Garlic
chutney (lasnachi chatni) and
sweet butter.
Its a great
meal. Also any Methi bhaaji goes well with bajra roti.
