How to Make Jowar Roti (Jolada Rotti)

Note: Jowar flour behaves differently than wheat flour. Unlike wheat dough which becomes stretchy (thanks to gluten), Jowar dough is more fragile. Here’s the traditional method:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Jowar flour (grind whole grains at home or buy ready-made)
• Warm water (critical – not cold water!)
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp oil (optional)

Method:

1. Boil 1.5 cups water with salt and oil.
2. Pour hot water into Jowar flour gradually while mixing with a spoon.
3. Let cool slightly, then knead into soft dough (use water on hands – dough sticks).
4. Pinch a lemon-sized ball, flatten on wet plastic sheet or banana leaf.
5. Pat evenly with wet fingers (don’t use rolling pin – it will crack!).
6. Gently transfer to hot tawa. Cook both sides until brown spots appear.
7. Serve hot with ghee, brinjal curry (enna gai), or peanut chutney.
