Step 1: Prepare the Dough
-
In a deep pan (kadhai), bring 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add 1 cup of millet flour, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
-
Cook the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes, until it forms a soft dough and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
-
Add 1 teaspoon of oil, mix well, and turn off the heat.
-
Cover and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
-
Once slightly warm, knead the dough until smooth and pliable.
-
If the dough feels sticky, use a little dry millet flour or oil on your hands.
-
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
Step 3: Shape the Rotis
-
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper, or lightly dust a rolling board with millet flour.
-
Gently press or roll into a thin, even circle.
-
If edges crack, press gently with your fingers to shape.
Step 4: Cook the Rotis
-
Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium heat.
-
Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa.
-
Cook each side for about 1 minute, flipping when bubbles appear.
-
Press gently with a spatula to help it puff.
Step 5: Serve
-
Remove from heat and apply ghee or oil if desired.
-
Serve hot with your favorite curry or vegetables.
Tip:
If rolling is tricky, try patting the dough into shape with your hands or use a tortilla press lined with parchment paper for easier handling.
