Bajra Roti Aur Gud
Bajra roti with a jaggery smear, the Rajasthani winter breakfast. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Serve with any curry, dal or pickle on the table.
Ingredients
- Salt1 tsp
- Ghee3 tbsp
- Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
- Pearl Millet (Bajra)1 cup
Instructions
- 1
Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.
- 2
Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.
- 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
Finish with a slick of butter and eat while the first one is still steaming.
Chef's tip
Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
