Jowar Flour Roti
This gluten-free, nutty-flavored roti is a wholesome alternative to wheat flatbreads—soft, slightly chewy, and perfect for scooping up curries or slathering with ghee.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup jowar flour (sorghum flour), plus extra for dusting
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup hot water (about 160°F)
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil (like avocado or grapeseed), plus extra for brushing
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup jowar flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gradually add ½ cup hot water while stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Drizzle in 1 teaspoon oil, then knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth (it’ll feel slightly sticky). Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide into 4 equal balls. Dust a surface with extra jowar flour, then roll each ball into a 6-inch circle (re-dust as needed to prevent sticking).
