Bajra roti recipeBajra roti recipe | pearl millet roti | kambu roti recipe – bajra flour is used as dosa mostly in south India while roti is of least preference at least to me. ofcourse, it tastes good but it has to be had super hot to get the actual taste unlike dosa which tastes the same anyway.

but it was in my long time to do list and happen to do it. i made it with little masalas, potatoes and made it flavorful that it just can be had as such without anything.

here is the quick video of making the bajra roti:

so lets start the step by step making of bajra roti with pics.

take bajra flour in a bowl and add together chopped onions, green chilli, chopped ginger, curry leaves, cooked and mashed potatoes, salt and turmeric powder.

also add ajwain/carom seeds, sesame seeds, kasuri methi and mix well. crumble with hands. Bajra roti recipe

add water little at a time and make a smooth soft dough. the onions will let the water out. this is the reason we crumble well first and then add water. need to rest it as it tends to leave out water. can be prepared immediately.

Bajra roti recipe

use butter paper, aluminium foil to flatten the disc. never use plastic wrapper or plastic sheets to flatten. reason is, when we transfer the roti to the dosa pan, it tends to stick to the pan and melts slightly which is very harmful. so use either butter sheet or aluminium foil for safer side. pinch out a lemon sized portion from the dough. amke ball out of it.
