JOWAR ROTI / JOLADA ROTTI / JOWAR KI BHAKRI / INDIAN FLAT BREAD

Jowar roti is a famous dish of north Karnataka , there people do this roti almost daily . It is very healthy and filling dish . Roti can be served with any veg curry but brinjal curry is a great combination with "Jolada Rotti ". Rotti is a low cal dish so you can have as much as you want, and gives lot of strength to body , you don't feel hungry soon .
There are many Roti hotels in Bangalore , as many people who don't cook or can't do roti in home, will enjoy the full meals of roti on week ends . So here i am showing step by step procedure to make roti which will help the people who don't no about roti. 

Ingredients:-
To make the dough

1. Jowar atta/ flour               1 & 1/2 cup
2. Rice flour                         1/2 cup
3. Water                                1 cup
4. Salt                                   1 tsp

To roll the roti little more rice flour is needed , and water is needed to apply on roti , separately.
Method :-

Take a big plate like this or any other vessel which is comfortable to knead atta . Add jowar flour to it .

In a small vessel add 1 cup of water (same cup for all measurement ) , add salt and keep on medium flame . when water starts boiling slow down the flame , slowly add rice flour from left hand and mix it with a big spoon from right hand . Now turn off the flame , let it cool for 5 min.
 In this 5 min gap you keep ready a wooden board and a rolling pin , little water in a small bowl and a small cotton cloth (small kerchief size/ less than that), a dry cotton cloth , flat spatula.  Add this baked rice flour mixture to jowar flour and try to make dough by adding little by little normal water and knead it more n more very nicely.

Dough will look like this.

Take a big lemon size/ small orange size dough  ,make it as a ball then press it , roll it using rolling pin to this size . Adjust the edges using your fingers like below.

Again roll it slowly , evenly maximum how much you can do (5- 6 inches). While rolling sprinkle little rice flour ,it makes you to roll easily.

Heat the thava (2-3 min), slowly place the roti on thava , immediately touch the roti with wet cloth throughout , keep medium flame . After 1 min , turn the roty with flat spatula and slowly press the edges using one  dry cotton cloth , so that roti can puff up . After 1/2 min  flip the roti and check for light brown spots , for both side it should get , it ensures that roti is cooked both sides well .

Serve the hot -hot roti with any curry , chutney powder , khara chutney . Enjoy it with slices of onion , cucumber , butter / ghee.

Note :-

1. You can use only jowar flour instead of rice  flour , i use rice flour to make very soft roti and bright roti, and also it makes roti making easy too .
2. Don't use old stock of jowar flour , other wise roti will broke while making . 
3. Try small quantity if you are doing first time , for the cup i used it makes around  12 roti . 

All the best
