Jowar ki Roti ( Jonna Rotte )

Jowar ki roti is an Indian flat bread made of sorghum. It is very healthy. It is gluten free and rich in fiber.

Making this roti is slightly difficult than the regular roti, nevertheless, it is worth the try. Moreover, as they say, practice makes perfect.
This is my first attempt. It came out well, but I hope to get better the next time.





Ingredients: 

  • Jowar Flour ( Sorghum ) - 1 cup
  • Boiling water - 1 cup
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp
  • Ghee to sprinkle.

Directions:

  • In a mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Knead the dough with hot water. Do not use your hand as the water is hot, knead with a spatula.
  • Once the temperature is low, knead with hand for a couple of minutes. You can add 1/4 tsp of  oil while kneading. Keep aside for 10 minutes.

  • Take a portion of  the dough and make it into a smooth ball.



  • On a greased sheet ( foil or plastic ) roll this ball with your hand. Dust it with dry flour.




  • Then with the help of a rolling pin, roll a little more very lightly.



  • Slowly lift the roti and place it on a hot griddle or tawa.  Brush the surface of this roti with some water.



  • Flip it after a minute. Sprinkle a litte ghee on this side, and cook for a minute and flip again. This is when you will see the roti puffing up.



  • Cook till both the sides are golden and crispy.
  • Enjoy with any curry of your choice.
