Jolada Rotti
North Karnataka jowar rotti, thin, soft and yenne-loaded. Flour, water, heat and hands — the oldest bread tradition on earth. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.
Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Onion2, finely sliced
- Green Chili2
- Ghee2 tbsp
- Sesame Seeds1 tsp
- Sorghum (Jowar)1 cup
Instructions
- 1
Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.
- 2
Let it rest in a warm spot; the dough should look smoother and feel like an earlobe when ready.
- 3
Portion the dough, stuff and pinch the seams closed, then roll with a feather touch so nothing bursts.
- 4
Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.
- 5
Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.
Chef's tip
Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
