Bajri no Rotlo (Millet flat bread)

Bajri no rotlo is a traditional Gujarati dish which is a millet roti or flat bread. Millets come with a wide range of health benefits and it is very good for weight watchers and diabetic people. This is the first time I have tasted bajra roti and I liked it a lot. I made it along with kadhi and Tindora (Kovakkai) subji but the traditional way of serving bajri no rotlo is with a spoonful of ghee and jaggery (Yumm :P )

INGREDIENTS:

• Bajra flour (Millet flour) - 3 cups
• Water - 1 and 1/2 cups
• Salt - 1/2 Tsp
• Oil - very little for pan frying

METHOD:

1. Mix the flour, salt and water and knead it well into a soft dough
2. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes
3. Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thick rotis
4. If the dough sticks to your working area, place a cling flim and roll out the rotis over it
5. Pan fry the rotis on both sides with very little oil
6. Serve hot

Accompaniments options:

• Ghee and Jaggery
• Tindora nu shaak
• Kadhi
