Makki Di Roti is a very popular Punjabi style flat bread. which is generally had with Sarson Ka Saag (mustard greens curry). They are a very healthy option in general and to the diabetic patients in particular as they are gluten free. To make them more appetizing, I added some coriander leaves, ginger, carom seeds and fresh chilies.
Chopped onions / fried onions too can be added, but instead I added some fresh grated coconut for a change. Enjoy them with any side dish (especially any green leafy vegetables), pickles, butter or yoghurt. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
- 1 cup Makki Atta (Maize Flour)
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp. ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1/2 tsp. red chili powder
- 1-2 green chilies, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp. ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp. fresh grated coconut
- oil to shallow fry
In a bowl mix together all the ingredients, except oil. Add hot water little at a time and mix with a spoon. Then knead into a dough with your hand. Keep aside for 15 minutes.
Knead again by adding some more water. Divide into 4 equal portions. Take each portion and spread it directly on a greased tawa / griddle with your fore fingers. Keep wetting your fingers while working on the dough.
Make few holes on it and shallow fry on a medium flame by drizzling some oil in the holes and around the edges. Fry on both sides till little brown specs appear on it. When done, transfer to a serving plate.
To do the next one, keep the hot tawa under a running water for a few seconds till it cools down.
Grease the tawa as usual and continue frying the next roti. Serve them hot with any side dish, yoghurt, butter or pickles.
