BAJRA ROTI

Bajra also called as Pearl millet in English, has so many health benefits. As bajra is rich in fiber, it helps in weight loss, best suitable for Diabetic people. I have served this roti with stuffed brinjal and green garlic thecha (hare lehsun ki chutney). Best combo to have it during winters.

Ingredients:

· Bajra flour – 2 cups

· Water – 2 cups

· Oil – 1 tsp

· Salt – ¾ tsp (adjust as per your preference)

Method:

· Take a big kadai add 2 cups of water, 1 tsp oil and ¾ tsp salt.

· Once it comes to a boil add bajra flour and give a good mix.

· Turn off the lid and immediately cover it with a lid.

· After 5-7 minutes transfer it in a big plate.

· Be careful it must be very hot, now knead to form a smooth dough by dipping your hand in water.

· Make a smooth and soft dough. And now make a ball sized dough and knead again.

· Roll the ball in the wheat flour and start rolling.

· You may again use wheat flour to roll it and make it bigger in size.

· Now heat a tawa and start frying the roti.

· Once you see that the roti has started puffing turn it over.

· Let it cook on the other side and flip again. At this time, you can also put the roti on direct flame.

· Now remove it from the tawa/direct flame and put it on a cloth.

· Continue frying all the roti’s in the same manner.

· After one or two roti’s use a wet cloth to wipe the tawa.

· Serve this with any vegetable or chutney of your choice.
