Bajra Roti

🇮🇳 Indian

Bajra Roti: the ancient grain doing the everyday job, deliciously. Ready in 35 minutes including prep.

Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Pearl Millet (Bajra)2 cups, flour

Instructions

  1. 1

    Knead the millet flour with hot water and salt into a smooth dough — hot water is non-negotiable with millets.

  2. 2

    Pat into rounds by hand or roll gently between sheets; millet dough cracks if rushed.

  3. 3

    Cook on a hot tawa until brown spots appear, pressing the edges with a cloth to puff.

  4. 4

    Brush with ghee and serve with anything that has gravy.

Chef's tip

Hot water and patience — millet dough and batter both punish haste.
