Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- salt (optional) (whole)
- Ghee — 100 g (whole)
- Maize Flour (Makki Atta - Yellow Coarse) — 250 g (ground)
Tempering
Method
- Take maize flour (makki atta) in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and gradually mix in warm water, kneading gently -- maize flour has no gluten, so the dough will be a little crumbly.
- Divide into portions. Pat each portion by hand between wet palms (or roll between plastic sheets) into a thick roti, as maize dough tears easily when rolled thin.
- Carefully transfer to a hot tawa.
- Cook on medium flame with ghee/oil, pressing gently, until both sides are golden brown with dark spots.
- Serve hot with a generous dollop of ghee, sarson ka saag or lahsun chutney.
