To make this healthy bajra roti, you only need good quality, fresh, finely ground millet flour, water, and oil.
water
pearl millet (bajra flour)
salt
oil
In a large bowl combine bajra (pearl millet) flour, oil, and salt.
Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing with your hands to form a soft dough. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more flour or water. Kneading is not required for gluten-free dough.
Lightly flour a work surface. Place the dough on the work surface and roll it into a log shape. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Roll 8 balls out of dough. Shape the balls into a round disk. (At this step also place the tava for heating on the medium-high flame ).
Dust a bajra dough ball with flour to prevent it from sticking.
Place the bajra dough ball between two plastic sheets and roll it out into a thin roti using a rolling pin.
Remove the plastic sheet and prepare to cook the bajra roti.
Cook the bajra roti on a hot tawa until brown spots appear on both sides. If the roti puffs up, it's cooked correctly. If it doesn't, don't worry - it will start puffing with practice.
