INGREDIENTS:

 

  • Foxtail millet flour - 1 cup (We can power the 'Siri Dhanya' or can use commericial flour of the millet.)

  • 1/4 cup of Rice flour

  • 1 Big grated carrot

  • 1 Finely chopped onion

  • Coriander leaves- finely chopped

  • Dil culinary herb

  • Green chillies -3 very finely chopped

  • Asafoetida/Hing -1 teaspoon

  • Salt as needed

  • Oil

  • 2 spoons of curd, Water as required

 

METHOD:

​

  • Grind Foxtail Millet to a fine powder in a food processor. One can skip this step if flour is bought.

  • On medium flame, heat 1 and half cups of water in a wok/ pan .

  • Add the foxtail millet flour and rice flour to the warm water and mix well with a spoon.

  • Add salt as per taste , hing , corainder leaves, onions, carrot,green chillies and dil herb to it and mix well until all the water is absorbed and you get a sticky dough. It should be left to cool.

  • After the dough is cooled down, take a small size dough and roll it on a smooth surface with oil on it or use organic whole wheat flour for dusting. Keep in mind that, these rotis can break easily, should be gentle while putting them on a tava/ frying pan.

  • Transfer this pressed roti to a heated frying pan/ tava and make sure there is some amount of oil, so that it roasts well.

  • And after few minutes, change sides of the roti and allow it to cook evenly on each side as well. Apply oil on the side of the roti as well.

  • Serve hot with pickle, curd or curry

​

​

NOTE: If the dough becomes more sticky, then add needed flour and if the dough is comparetively dry, then add needed water.
