Bhil Makai Roti
Thick maize flatbread cooked on open wood fire by Bhil tribal communities. Served with wild green chutney and buttermilk in southern Rajasthan.
Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- Curd — 100 g (whole)
- salt (optional) (whole)
- Maize Flour (Makki Atta - Yellow Coarse) — 250 g (ground)
Tempering
- oil — 2 tbsp (whole)
Method
- In a bowl, mix the maize flour with the curd, salt and a little warm water, and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Pat or roll out each ball between two sheets of plastic or on a greased surface into a roti, as makki dough is soft and can crack easily.
- Heat a tawa on medium flame and carefully transfer the rolled roti onto it.
- Cook the roti, drizzling a little oil around the edges, and flip once or twice, pressing gently with a cloth or spatula until golden-brown spots appear on both sides.
- Remove from the tawa, garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot with a dollop of curd or butter.
