    %Step by step Making of Makki ki Roti
  • Take Cornmeal in a bowl and add Carom Seed and salt to it and mix using your hands.
  • Now add little warm water and start kneading it.
  • It took me 1.5 Cup of warm water to prepare a tight dough.
  • Cover the dough with a wet cloth and leave it for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes knead the dough again for 5 more minutes.
  • Make 8-10 Balls out of the dough.
  • Now start roasting Roti using a Tawa or Flat Frying Pan on high flame. Don't reduce the flame while making Makki Di Roti!
  • Add ½ Tsp. of Ghee to each Roti while Roasting! For the authentic flavor, there’s no less calorie version available!
  • Serve Makki ki Roti with Sarson ka Saag and believe me the taste is heavenly!

Notes

It’s a bit tricky to roll the Makki Dough! Traditionally Makki ki Roti is prepared by pressing the dough but not using a rolling pin.
If you’ll not be able to prepare flatbread using your hand then take two pieces of cling film and place the dough ball within and using a rolling pin roll a medium size Roti/ Flat Bread.
