What Is Jowar Roti?

Jowar roti is a traditional food item in India. It’s usually served with curries, dal, and pithla. You’ll find it at most restaurants serving South Indian cuisine.

The Jowar Rotti is made by mixing sorghum flour with warm water. Then small balls of the mixture are formed into flat discs using hands. These discs are then placed on a hot griddle and cooked until they turn golden brown. They are then flipped and cooked on the second side.

You can buy jowar roti in supermarkets and grocery stores. However, if you’d rather cook it yourself, here’s a recipe for making homemade jowar roti.

Ingredients

The Jowar roti recipe needs only two ingredients – ground sorghum flour (also known as jowar) and salt. These unleavened flatbreads are made using a batter similar to chapati dough.

Once you’ve mixed the flour, you’ll need to let it sit overnight. The next day, you’ll knead the mixture and roll out the jowar dough. Once rolled out, cut the dough into small squares and bake.

How To Make Jowar Roti

Jowar roti is a delicious Indian bread made from jowar flour. It’s very similar to naan, which is another favorite Indian bread. However, jowar roti is slightly sweeter and softer than naan. You can serve it with any meal, especially curries. It’s great served warm or cold.

To make jowar ki roti, you’ll need to prepare two ingredients: jowar flour and ghee. Ghee is clarified butter that is used extensively in Indian cuisine. It adds flavor and richness to dishes. You’ll also need a pan, a silicone brush, parchment paper, a flat spatula, a kitchen towel, and a stovetop.

• First, mix the 100 grams jowar flour and pinches of salt in a medium pot. Then add enough hot water to form a thick paste. Turn the heat on high and stir constantly until the mixture starts boiling.
• Turn down the temperature to low and leave it alone for 10 minutes. Then turn off the stove and put the pot back into its original position.
• Next, remove the lid and add the ghee to the mixture. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes creamy and forms a soft dough.
• Transfer the smooth dough to a large mixing bowl and knead it well. Shape the dough into a smooth and small-sized ball and divide it into four equal parts. Roll each part into a round ball sized and coat it evenly with flour.
• Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it into a 6-inch circular shape.
• Repeat the process with each of the rest of the dough balls.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 C)
• Take one dough ball at a time and place it on a preheated pan. Using a silicone brush, spread a thin layer of water on the dough. Flip the dough over and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Once both sides have light brown spots or golden spots, remove the roti from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
• Repeat the same steps with the remaining dough balls and serve them hot or cold.
