Prepare healthy fiber-rich Bajra roti/ Kambu chapati using Pearl millet flour and whole wheat flour. Serve hot with spicy gravy.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Bajra flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup water approx.
- 1 tbsp oil
- Oil to roast roti
Instructions
Recipe:
- In a mixing bowl, take bajra(Kambu) flour and whole wheat flour.
- Add salt and gradually add water.
- Knead the flour into a firm dough.
- Apply oil, knead again, cover tightly & keep aside for 15 minutes. You can skip resting time in a hurry.
- Take a big lemon size ball from the dough.
- Dust with wheat flour, roll into chapati as thin as possible.
- Heat a roti tawa, place the rolled chapati on hot tawa.
- Cook the bottom for two minutes and flip it.
- Press with the ladle slightly and roast both the sides until golden spots appear.
- Now apply oil/ghee on both sides and roast for two more minutes.
- When dark brown spots appear, the roti is cooked.
- Remove from the pan and store in a hot box.
- Serve hot with any spicy veg or non-veg gravy like Paneer lababdar or Kadai chicken gravy. Today I served this Kambu chapati with kadai paneer.
Notes
Tips: 1) You can use the same dough for making Kambu Poori/Bajra Poori. 2) Since we use less gluten(wheat) and more fibrous bajra, it is better to use the dough fresh. The dough may become dry if stored in the refrigerator. 3) If you prefer complete gluten-free bajra roti, don't add wheat flour and take extreme care while pressing/rolling to avoid breakages.
