In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Heat the water in a saucepan until it starts to boil.
Gradually add the boiling water into the flour while stirring continuously using a wooden spoon. Mix until it forms a dough.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands until it is smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Aim for about 4 balls for easier handling.
Dust a clean surface with a little jowar flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hand.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough ball into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Keep the thickness even across the roti.
Preheat a tawa or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet.
Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on one side or until small bubbles form and the color changes slightly.
Flip the roti using a spatula and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Press gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the vegan jowar roti warm with your favorite vegan curry or accompaniment.
