Introduction: Bajra Roti is a traditional flatbread made from pearl millet flour, a staple in Rajasthani cuisine. This wholesome and nutritious bread pairs perfectly with a variety of Rajasthani dishes and is a great way to incorporate the health benefits of millet into your diet.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Bajra (pearl millet) flour
• Warm water (as needed)
• Salt (optional)
• Ghee or oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, add the bajra flour and a pinch of salt if desired.
   • Gradually add warm water to the flour and knead it into a soft, pliable dough. Millet flour can be a bit dry, so you may need to add water in small increments.
2. Shaping the Rotis:
   • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
   • Dust a rolling surface with a little bajra flour.
   • Flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a circular shape using a rolling pin. Bajra dough can be sticky, so handle it gently.
3. Cooking the Rotis:
   • Heat a tava or griddle over medium-high heat.
   • Place the rolled-out roti on the hot griddle.
   • Cook for a minute or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the roti.
   • Cook the other side until brown spots appear.
   • Apply a little ghee or oil on both sides if desired and cook until the roti is golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serving:
   • Serve hot bajra rotis with your favorite Rajasthani curry, chutney, or a dollop of ghee on top.

Tips:

• Bajra roti is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
• You can add finely chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander to the dough for added flavor.
