Ingredients

1 cup sajja flour (pearl millet flour)
1 cup water
salt to taste
ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. 1 In a mixing bowl, combine sajja flour and salt.
  2. 2 Gradually add water to the flour, mixing continuously to form a soft dough.
  3. 3 Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
  4. 4 Flatten each ball between your palms to form a thick disc or use a rolling pin to roll out into a circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
  5. 5 Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium heat.
  6. 6 Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa.
  7. 7 Cook on one side until small bubbles form, then flip it over.

  9. 9 Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
  10. 10 Serve hot with chutney or curry of your choice.

Tips

Ensure the dough is soft and pliable for easy rolling. Adjust water as needed.
