Although we all know of the amazing health benefits of makki ki roti, it often becomes quite difficult to make it at home. Here are 5 tips to make tasty makki ki roti at home.

Adding Radish

Adding some grated radish to the makki ka atta will give additional flavour to the roti while also up the health quotient of the dish. However, this is completely optional.

Medium Pressure

While rolling out the dough, wet your fingertips and use your fingertips to flatten the dough out. Use medium pressure so that the dough does not break.

Hot Tawa

While cooking the makki ki roti, make sure that the tawa is hot before you put the roti onto it. Add a splash of water to the tawa so that the roti stays soft.

Ziploc Bag

Once the dough is slightly flatter, you can put it inside a Ziploc bag and further roll it with a rolling pin to maintain the shape and avoid breakage.

Perfect Proportion

A proportion of 2 cups makki ka aata with 1 cup water works best. Use slightly lukewarm water while kneading the dough.
