Serves: 4 rotla
- Bajra flour (Black millet) : 1 1/2 cup
- Water: 2/3 cup or as required
- Salt: 1/3 tsp (optional)
- Ghee (clarified butter) : 2 tbsp
- In a large mixing bowl take black millet or bajra.
- Now while adding little water at time start kneading the dough.
- The bajra dough should have consistency like roti dough.
- Once the dough is prepared, divide the dough into large lemon size balls or 4 equal size balls.
- Take one portion in a mixing bowl and start knead it with hands. Apply pressure while kneading.
- Kneading the dough makes it softer.
- Now take the dough ball in hand and start giving it round shape. Press using hand and make it flat.
- Take the flat disk in hand and start pressing between palms giving it alternate tap.
- Also you can roll the bajra rotla on a rolling board in case you are not able to make it with hand.
- Heat a tawa or griddle and once hot, place the bajra rotla on top making sure there are no air bubbles left below bajra rotla.
- Cook the bajra rotla on hot tawa for 30 seconds. Apply some water on top surface using hand so that bajra rotla does not get dry.
- Now flip the rotla and cook on other side for 30 sec.
- Take the bajra rotla off the tawa and place it on direct flame. The bajra rotla must puffs up.
- Bajra rotla is ready. Smear some homemade ghee or clarified butter on top of rotla and serve it hot with baingan bharta or kadhi.
