Makai-ki-Roti

Makai-ki-Roti - Shobha Kamath
Ingredients:
Maize flour 1 cup
Whole wheat flour 1/4th cup
Ajwain (carom) seeds 1 tsp
Jeera (cumin) seeds 1 tsp
Haldi (turmeric) powder 1/4th tsp
Salt 1 tsp OR as per taste
Soda or Eno 1/2 tsp
Curds 1/4th cup
Water 1/4th cup OR as required

Method:
Crush ajwain and jeera seeds together and keep it aside.
In a bowl, add maize flour, whole wheat flour, crushed ajwain and jeera seeds mixture, turmeric powder, salt, soda/eno and curds. Mix it well.
Next add water little at a time and knead it into a soft pliable dough. Keep it covered for about 20 mins.
After 20 minutes, make medium size balls. Dust each ball with maize flour and roll it into moderately thick rotis with the help of a rolling pin.
Then heat a griddle/tawa and place the rolled out roti on it. After a few seconds, flip it on other side and fry it on the other side too. Keep the griddle on a low flame. Do not add oil or ghee while frying.
When light brown spots appear on both the surface, remove and place it on a plate.
In this way, prepare all the rotis.
Serve hot with a dollop of home-made white butter or with a bowl of curds.
