How to make Bajra Roti
- In a mixing bowl, combine the two flour and salt.
- Add enough hot water, a little at a time, and mix into a soft dough.
- Heat a flat nonstick (tava). Divide the dough into 8 portions.
- Make a ball with one of the portions, and on a floured surface, roll it into a thin circle about 5-6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle with flour as necessary while rolling.
- Place the roti on the tava, and cook for a couple of seconds on medium-high heat, until light brown spots form on the underside. Flip it over and cook on the other side until light brown.
- Remove from the tava and brush with ghee or butter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Serve the bajra roti hot, with a lentil and gravy dish of your choice.
