Makki Di Roti Punjab

🇮🇳 Indian

Prep 31 min Cook 21 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salt1 tsp
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Cornmeal2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Cover and rest; use this time to make the filling or get the pan hot.

  3. 3

    Portion the dough, stuff and pinch the seams closed, then roll with a feather touch so nothing bursts.

  4. 4

    Cook the first side dry, the second side with ghee, and finish directly on the flame for the puff.

  5. 5

    Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
