Makki ki roti

It is one of the famous flat and unleavened Indian Punjabi Roti which is made from Maize flour.

Ingredients

• Corn Flour           1 cup
• Raddish (Mooli)   1 (grated)
• Green chilli           1-2 (chopped)
• Coriander leaves   Few(chopped)
• Salt                       to taste
• Red chilli powder  to taste
• Oil                        3-4 tbsp
• Desi Ghee             to taste

Method

Mix all the above ingredients except oil and desi ghee. Add a little water to bind them together and make a soft dough.

Divide the dough into small balls. Place it on a lightly greased zip lock bag or any plastic sheet you have on hand. Flatten it slightly with your palm. Now place another plastic sheet on top of the flattened dough and slowly pat it down to flatten it further with the help of some water. I usually flatten it to a size which fits my palm. I do that to make it easier on me to transfer this to a tawa.

Remove the top plastic sheet. Now very slowly transfer the pancake on to your palm. Be careful since the dough can break easily at this point. Thats why the one fitting in your hands will make this process easier. The plastic sheet will peel away easily since you have greased it.

Heat non-stick pan/ tawa. Put roti on tawa. Flip when it is slightly cooked (nearly after a few seconds). Flip again after a few seconds( when parantha turns slight brown). Now oil the top of parantha and flip it again. Oil the other side also. Flip it and heat for another few seconds till done. Put desi ghee or butter on it and serve with curd or sarso ka saag.
