Bajra Roti Recipe
Bajra Roti is a quite popular and healthy recipe made with bajra flour. It is one of those rotis that taste great and very filling. The recipe has a soft texture and a little firm edges that goes well with curd, chutney or any sabzi you like. Making bajra roti is not hard once you know how to handle the dough.
Servings4 rotis
Ingredients
- 1 cup bajra flour
- 3 tablespoon wheat flour
- salt to taste
- water as required
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take bajra flour, wheat flour and required salt, mix well.
- Then add water little by little.
- Knead it to a soft dough. Make small lemon sized balls.
- Take a ball, place it inbetween a plastic sheet press it with a flat based container to flatten it.
- Carefully remove it from the plastic sheet,make all the rotis similarly.
- Heat a tawa,now carefully transfer the rotis to the tawa.
- Cook on on one side then transfer to direct flame and cook for few seconds.
- Brush it with ghee or butter.
- Serve Bajra roti hot with any chutney of your choice.
Notes
- Soft dough – The dough needs to be soft and smooth while mixing. If it becomes too tight then roti will start breaking when you press it. Add little more warm water if needed to make it soft.
- Pressing method – I usually keep the dough ball between two plastic sheets and press it using small flat bowl. It is more easy than rolling with pin and helps to get even round shape.
- Cook properly – Always cook one side nicely before flipping or keeping it direct on flame. This helps the roti to puff well and cook evenly from inside.
- Spiciness – You can add little ajwain, cumin or a pinch of chili powder in the dough if you want bit spicy taste. It gives nice flavor and good smell when roasting on tawa.
- Kasoori methi – I sometimes add small amount of kasuri methi in dough, it gives lovely aroma and slight bitter taste that goes very well with bajra flavor.
