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

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.
