Method
- Add bajra flour and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Pour hot water slowly and mix with a spoon first, then knead with your hands into a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls.
- Dust the surface with a little dry bajra flour and gently press the dough ball using your palms to flatten. You can use a rolling pin lightly if needed.
- Heat a tawa on medium flame. Lift the roti carefully and place it on the hot tawa.
- Cook for 30–40 seconds until small bubbles appear. Flip and cook the other side.
- Press gently with a cloth or spatula to help it puff. Cook until both sides have brown spots.
- Serve hot with curd, sabzi, or dal.
Notes
Use hot water for soft, pliable dough. Bajra flour has no gluten, so handle the roti gently while lifting.
