Bajra Dodha or Bajra Roti


All of us have wheat rotis round the year, but winter is a good time to add Bajra Rotis to the daily menu. Bajra is highly nutritious and good for health. Also, a meal with Bajra rotis sustains you for several hours. Here’s how you can make them at home.
Ingredients:
• 1 bowl Bajra flour
• One small onion finely chopped
• 4 flakes garlic (peeled and ground)
• 2 green chillies finely chopped
• A few methi or fenugreek leaves finely chopped (optional)
• A few coriander leaves finely chopped
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsps oil for kneading and some more for making the dodhas

Procedure:
Put the flour in a large plate. Add all ingredients and knead into a soft dough with warm water. Divide the dough into five or six portions. Heat tawa or girdle . Flatten each portion of the dough with both hands into a thick round roti. Put the roti on the hot tawa and cook on medium flame, till it is evenly brown. Turn the roti over and allow the other side to likewise cook. Turn it over when done. Now put one teaspoon of oil and let the roti get crisp. Turn over and do the same with the other side. R:emove from tawa and serve hot with your meal . This roti/dodha tastes great just with fresh mint /green chutney.
