Notes

  • firstly, sieve the jowar flour to filter out impurities.
  • furthermore, add a pinch of salt to the flour. however, in authentic version we do not add salt.
  • also, make sure to knead the dough well else there will be cracks while patting rotti.
  • most noteworthy, if there are cracks forming while patting roti, take some hot water and knead the dough further.
  • finally, jolada rotti / jowar roti recipe / jowar bhakri taste great when patted with hands rather then prepared with rolling pin.
