Bajra Roti

Bajra Roti is a traditional Indian flatbread made from pearl millet flour, known for its nutty flavor and hearty texture. This gluten-free bread is perfect for a wholesome breakfast, often paired with a dollop of ghee or a side of spicy pickle.

Ingredients

• Bajra flour - 1 cup
• Warm water - 1/2 cup
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ghee or oil - for cooking

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bajra flour and salt.
2. Gradually add warm water, mixing with your hands to form a soft dough.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a ball.
5. On a flat surface, dust with a little bajra flour and roll out each ball into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
6. Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium-high heat and place the rolled roti on it.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip it over.
8. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula.
9. Brush with ghee or oil and flip again for a few seconds until cooked through.
10. Repeat with the second roti and serve hot with ghee or pickle.
