Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups	sorghum flour (sajje hittu)
1 cup	water
1 medium	onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons	coriander leaves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons	cumin seeds
2 teaspoons	green chilies, finely chopped
1 teaspoon	salt
1	oil for cooking

Instructions

1. 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sorghum flour, chopped onion, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, green chilies, and salt.
2. 2 Gradually add water to the mixture while kneading to form a smooth, soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not too sticky.
3. 3 Divide the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a lemon.
4. 4 Heat a tawa or flat griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
5. 5 Take a ball of dough and flatten it between your palms, then place it on a clean surface or a piece of parchment paper.
6. 6 Gently pat and spread the dough ball into a thin, round rotti using your fingers. You can wet your fingers slightly to prevent sticking.
7. 7 Carefully transfer the rotti onto the hot tawa.
8. 8 Cook the rotti on medium heat until small brown spots appear on the bottom, then flip it over.
9. 9 Cook the other side until it is also golden brown and cooked through.
10. 10 Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
11. 11 Serve hot with chutney, curry, or yogurt.
