Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 optional Green chili, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine jowar flour and olive oil. Mix well to incorporate the oil into the flour.
Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously with your hands until a soft dough forms. The consistency should be pliable but not sticky.
Add in the chopped coriander leaves and green chili (if using). Knead the dough for another 5 minutes to combine the ingredients evenly.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Place one dough ball on a flat surface dusted with jowar flour. Flatten the ball slightly, then gently roll it out into a circular shape about 6 inches in diameter, ensuring the roti does not stick to the rolling surface.
Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Once hot, place the roti on the tawa.
Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side or until you see bubbles forming. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Optionally, you can cook it on an open flame directly for about 5-10 seconds to puff it up, but this step is optional.
Remove the cooked roti and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the jowar rotis warm with your favorite side dishes.
