Bajra roti recipe | bajre ki roti | healthy pearl millet roti | rajasthani bajra roti | sajje roti | with amazing 16 photosthough bajra is grown only in certain parts of rajasthan, bajra rotis are relished all over the state. Thickly rolled bajra rotis are cooked over "Kanda" (cow dung cakes) in the villages. That is the authentic way of preparing them because it imparts a smoked flavour to the rotis. We have made this simple recipe of bajra roti by kneading bajra flour with little whole wheat flour together with little salt. Whole wheat flour makes rolling and binding bajre ki roti easier. Knead the dough with warm water as the dough become pliable and easy to knead and roll. This helps in getting pearl millet roti a soft texture. The rajasthani bajra roti are thickly rolled, cooked on a tava and then roast over open flame till brown spots appear. Traditionally white butter also known as makhan is smeared on it or if that is not available you can use ghee. Bajra roti is a traditional indian flatbread made with bajra or black pearl millet flour making it extremely nutritious. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. If you are looking for a gluten free option you can replace the whole wheat flour and only knead bajra flour alone to make bajre ki roti. I remember, my grandmother would roll the roti using her palm and cook it on a earthen clay tava on a chulha, which would give bajra roti a smoky flavor. I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect rajasthani bajra roti. 1. To make bajre ki roti, take a portion of the dough and shape into a round ball. The dough ball should be smooth without any cracks. If required, you can apply some water on your palms and then shape. 2. Serve the bajra roti immediately smeared with white butter or ghee. If it cools down, it will feel very hard and dry. Bajra roti, lahsun ki chutney and onions is a combo Although absolutely simple to make, these rotis are deliciousEnjoy how to make bajra roti recipe | bajre ki roti | healthy pearl millet roti | rajasthani bajra roti | sajje roti | with detailed step by step photos and video below.
