Ingredients
- 2 cup Makai ka Atta or Makka Atta or Maize atta or Corn Meal
- 1 cup Water (or as required)
- 2 tbsp Ghee
Instructions
- Firstly, add makki atta or maize flour to a parat.
- Add a little water at a time and mix it with makke ka atta in a rotating motion from the center of the bowl to outward until it forms a dough and it cleans the sides of the bowl.
- If the dough becomes sticky then add more makki flour or if the dough is dry then add some water.
- Further, knead the dough for a few minutes until the dough becomes firm and smooth, with just the right rolling consistency.
- Knead the dough for a few seconds again (as per the video) to make a ball.
- Make dough balls, shaping them into a ball and flattening them slightly with your palm.
- Sprinkle some makai ka atta on the rolling board or chakla. Then place the dough ball on the rolling board.
- After that sprinkle some maize flour (makki atta) on the dough ball also.
- Prepare round chapati/roti by patting the dough ball on a rolling board with your hands.
- First, flatten the dough using your palm, and then roll it into a neat roti using the rolling pin.
- You can also roll the dough ball by keeping it in between 2 sheets of polythene.
- Now pick the chapati, pat it in between your hands to shake off the excess flour, and place it on the hot Tawa.
- In about 1 minute (approx.) the little bubble will start appearing, with the help of a spatula turn the makai ki roti over to the other side and cook for a few seconds.
- This time this side has to be cooked more than the previous side. you will see brown spots on the makai roti.
- Further, Cook both sides partially as we will be cooking directly on the flame.
- Now place the makka roti on the flame directly, and allow it to puff up.
- Cook the chapatis perfectly as per video or pic or as normal roti recipe.
- In addition, apply some ghee on the roti.
- Finally, Makai ki Roti or Makki Ki Roti or Makka Roti is ready to enjoy with sarson ka saag.
Notes
- First, make sure to knead the maize dough really well, if there are cracks then roti will not puff up.
- Additionally, if you are not comfortable to cook the chapati on direct flame then you can try to puff up on hot tawa itself.
