Method

  1. Take maize flour (makki atta) in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Gradually mix in warm water and knead gently into a dough -- maize flour is gluten-free and a little crumbly.
  2. Divide into portions. Pat each by hand between wet palms into a thick roti -- the Chamba style is denser and thicker than the Punjab version.
  3. Carefully transfer to a hot tawa.
  4. Cook on medium flame with ghee/oil, pressing gently, until both sides are golden brown.
  5. Serve hot with saag and a dollop of ghee.
