FRIENDS,

In my previous post, I showed the method to make Yennegai (Brinjal curry).

But the dish is incomplete without SOFT JOLAD ROTTI. (JOWAR KI ROTI).

In the Northern part of KARNATAKA (India), JOWAR KI ROTI is very famous. T

They get good fresh jowar flour so the Rort comes out very soft and tasty.

JOWAR : (millet)

Jowar is also called SORGHUM GRAIN.
It is a super-food and is Gluten-free.
It is rich in Fiber and so is very safe for Weight Watchers.
the protein-packed and fiber-rich Roti keeps us satiated, delays the digestion process, curbs unwanted cravings, and regulates Blood sugar levels.
It helps in digestion, and avoids the problem of gas, bloating, etc,
It helps to fight with free radicles
It has a good amount of IRON and also boosts Immunity.

These are a few important benefits of this wonderful MILLET- JOWAR.

Making Jowar Roti is a little tricky because it is Gluten-free and If you don’t get fresh, fine flour, it is difficult to make smooth, soft Rotis.

There are different methods of making JOWAR ROTI.

Some people Knead the flour with normal water, and some use hot water.

Few people boil the water put the flour in it, and then knead it,

But the problem is we do not get fresh flour all the time and so we have to manage with the available old stalk. Friends, for such conditions I have a special TIP.

I use a little wheat flour. How much, when, and how to use it?

for this let us proceed with the recipe.

Let us see the Ingredients needed for making soft jolad rotti

Jowar flour-2 cups
Wheat flour-2 tablespoons
Salt-1 level teaspoon
Water-2 cups+3/4 cup

PREPARATION OF THE DOUGH for making Soft Jolad Rotti

Take a Saucepan.
Add 2 and 3/4 cups of water into it.
Put 1 level teaspoon of salt into it.
Add 2 tablespoons of Wheat flour to the pan.

Now with the help of a spoon or whisk mix the wheat flour and water so that no lumps remain.

Now on a low flame keep the pan and let the mixture cook.

When the wheat flour cooks it forms a smooth slurry-like structure.

tip- this sticky slurry makes the jowar flour bind together and makes the Roti soft and smooth in texture.

When this mixture starts boiling, add the JOWAR FLOUR, to it.

Mix it well till you get a lump, as whole water gets absorbed.

Now put off the flame.
Keep it covered for 3-4 mts.

KNEADING THE DOUGH FOR SOFT JOLAD ROTTI

Now the hot dough is ready.
But the dough still needs kneading.
Take a big plate, put the dough, smear water on your hands, and slowly start kneading.

Knead for about 2-3 mts to make a smooth dough.

tip- make a ball and see if the ball is smooth on the surface and is free of cracks.

If you don’t see any cracks, that means the dough is perfect.

ROLLING METHOD FOR SOFT JOLAD ROTTI

For rolling the Roti you can use either wheat flour or j or flour.
Smoothen the dough and divide them into a big .lemon-sized ball.

Now roll the balls one at a time in the dry flour and start rolling on the rolling board evenly and as thin as possible.

Roti is now ready to get roasted

METHOD OF ROASTING SOFT JOLAD ROTTI

Roasting of the roti is done without using any oil or ghee.
Just use a wet cloth to get rid of extra flour from the rolled roti while roasting.
Heat a Tawa and put the rolled Roti after the Tawa gets heated.
