Ingredients
1/2
cup
jowar flour
1/4
cup
freshly grated coconut
2
tbsp
grated onions (Optional)
1
green chilli minced OR 1 tsp red chilli flakes
1
tbsp
coconut milk
salt to taste
1
tsp
oil
Instructions
Take jowar flour, coconut, grated onions, green chilli / chili flakes and salt in a bowl and mix all thoroughly.
Add coconut milk and add water gradually.
Knead to a dough of soft and smooth consistency. Add oil and knead.
Divide the dough into sweet lime sized balls.
Heat a tawa.
Take a parchment paper / baking sheet and flatten each ball with palm into medium sized and thick roti. Wet your hands if required.
Gently peel off the roti from the sheet and place on the hot tawa.
Cook flipping till golden brown spots appear on both sides.
Notes
Roti should not be too thin. Ideal size will be ¼ inch thick.
Make sure not to overcook, else it will become hard and crispy.
Ideally serve it hot. However, if you are not able to do so, warm them in microwave to soften them just before eating.
We can use any millet flour for making this roti.
