Makki Ki Roti (Maize flour bread)

Ingredients


2 cups maize flour
1 tsp salt
5-6 coriander twigs, cleaned washed and chopped
1 green chilly, chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, chopped
Hot water to knead the flour

Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients in the flour, except water.
  2. Make a hole in the middle of the flour and pour very hot water to it. Mix it lightly with a spatula (it'll burn your hand, otherwise). Let it sit for few minutes or until you can handle the dough. Hot water helps the flour to settle well and also makes it easier to flatten it .  Make a dough which is not too tight or soggy. You should be able to shape the dough into a ball without it sticking all over your palm.
  3. Divide the dough into balls big enough you want your roti to be. The roti will be a bit thick from original wheat roti.
  4. Now thoroughly flour a platform (that you can later lift), you can use chopping board, or the same platform used to flatten roti's. 
  5. Flatten the ball a bit with your hands on the floured surface, gradually increasing it's size and flouring in between to avoid it sticking to the counter surface. Do all the flattening with hands.
  6. Now place your palm on the roti, lift the counter with other hand, invert it and slowly and carefully take the roti in your palm.
  7. Put it over a heated flat griddle or pan. Turn it on the other side after about 3-4 minutes of cooking or when you see light brown spots.
  8. Now cook on both sides with few drops of ghee to give it a thick brown colored spots.
  9. Serve hot , and oh yes, don't forget  sarson-da-saag

  4. The dough will be a bit sticky so i added olive oil in my hands to get the dough together.
  5. Transfer the dough on generously floured baking tray and shape into a circle with hands.
  6. Let the dough double again which can take from 1 hr or more. Keep it in some warm space like your switched off oven.
  7. Now prepare "garlic butter" (3 tbsp butter + 2,3 crushed garlic + 1/2 tsp black pepper powder).
