Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Bajra Flour pearl millet flour
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds rai
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds jeera
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup Peas fresh or frozen, green
- 1 Onion finely sliced
- 1 Chili finely sliced, green
- 1 tbsp Ginger finely chopped
- 2 sprigs Curry Leaves
Instructions
Prepare the Pea Filling
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add sliced onions and green chilies. Sauté until onions soften and turn translucent.
- Stir in finely chopped ginger and green peas. Add salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until peas are tender.
- Add 3/4 cup of water, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the bajra flour and the pea mixture. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 4-5 equal-sized balls. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Cook the Rotis
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Take one dough ball and gently roll it into a thin circle using a rolling pin. Lightly dust the rolling surface with flour to prevent sticking.
- Place the rolled roti on the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until small bubbles appear and the roti is cooked through. Lightly brush with oil while cooking for a softer texture.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve
- Serve the hot Peas Bajra Rotis with raita or your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Peas Bajra Rotis
- For a smoother dough, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes after kneading. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer rotis.
- If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before adding them to the filling to prevent a watery consistency.
- Adjust the amount of water in the dough as needed depending on the humidity and the type of bajra flour you use. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle when cooking the rotis. This will ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
