Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of jowar flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
Gradually add 1.25 cups of warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a spoon or your hands. You want to form a dough that is soft but not sticky. Add the water slowly to ensure you do not add too much.
Once the dough starts to come together, knead it gently with your hands for about 5 to 7 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water, a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball with your hands. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out as you work.
Lightly flour a clean work surface with jowar flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it gently with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circle, roughly 6 inches in diameter. Roll out all the dough balls in the same manner.
Heat a flat skillet or non-stick tawa over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out roti on the skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the roti.
Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes. Press gently with the spatula to help the roti puff up slightly. You should see dark spots forming on the surface.
Remove the cooked roti from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining rolled-out dough.
Serve the Jowar Roti hot with your favorite Whole30 compliant curries or stir-fried vegetables. Enjoy!
