Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Combine millet flour, whole wheat flour, turmeric powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add chopped fenugreek leaves, coriander leaves, spring onions, fresh green garlic, and regular garlic to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  • Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

Cook the Flatbreads

  • Heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat.
  • Lightly grease your hands with oil.
  • Take a small portion of the dough (about the size of a golf ball).
  • Gently shape the dough into a small ball, then flatten it into a roughly 5-inch disc using your hands. Do not roll it with a pin.
  • Place the disc on the hot griddle.
  • Using wet hands, gently flatten the disc further into a thin roti. Work quickly to prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Flip with a spatula.
  • Brush both sides with a little oil during cooking.

Serve

  • Serve the Bajre Ki Roti hot with your favorite accompaniments such as coriander chutney, raita (yogurt dip), or lassi (yogurt drink).

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Bajre Ki Roti

  • For a softer roti, use slightly more water while kneading the dough. Conversely, for a crispier roti, use less water.
  • Don't roll out the dough; instead, gently flatten it with your hands for that authentic texture. Wet hands help prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the amount of herbs and spices according to your preference. Experiment with other fresh herbs like mint or chives.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of whole wheat flour to help firm it up.
