Steps for preparation
- Firstly,
in a large mixing bowl take (2 cup) bajra atta, (½ tsp) salt and mix well.
- Add (½
cup of hot water) and start to knead.
- Knead to
the soft dough for at least (10 minutes).
- Add water
as required and knead well as there is no gluten in the dough.
- Pinch a
small ball sized dough and knead again.
- Dust with
wheat flour and pat gently. you can alternatively use a rolling pin to roll as
done for paratha.
- Pat with
both the hands until the roti turns as thin as possible. if the roti breaks, it
means it needs more kneading.
- Dust off
excess flour and put over hot tawa.
- Now
spread water over the roti with help of hand or wet cloth removing excess
dough.
- Wait
until the water evaporates then flip it to the other side.
- Press
gently and cook all the sides.
-
Finally, serve bajra
roti / sajje rotti with jaggery or curry.
