1 cup = 250 gram

- 1 inch piece of ginger
- 3 green chilies
- 2 tbsp anardana/dry pomegranate seeds
- 1 tsp carom seeds/ajwain
- 1 tsp kasuri methi
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp dry mango powder
- Handful of coriander leaves
- 1 +3/4 cups boiling water
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp + more oil
Instructions
- Take a chopper and add radish, onion & ginger, all after cutting into small pieces alongwith coriander leaves and green chilies.
- Chop them so finely. In case you don't have chopper, just chop all with knife. Alternatively you can only chop onion but grate radish and ginger.
- In a bowl, add makki ka atta/maze flour.
- Add the chopped ingredients.
- Also add anardana/dry pomegranate seeds, carom seeds/ajwain, kasuri methi, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, dry mango powder, coriander leaves, salt and
- 1 tbsp oil.
- Give them a good mix.
- Mix with a ladle. The flour will turn into a rough dough.
- Cover the bowl and rest for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, transfer the rough dough in a wide vessel like paraat.
- Now knead the dough for atleast 8 to 10 minutes. If dough is sticking to your hands, grease your hands with oil or ghee.
- NOTE : while kneading, if you feel that dough is little dry, add bit (spoon by spoon) of hot water and in case, dough is slightly loose, you can add little flour.
- Once dough is ready, divide it into portions. The size of portions depend upon the fact that how big roti you want to make. We divided the dough into 12 portions.
- Now take one portion and roll it between your palms turning it into a smooth ball.
- NOTE : Since the time you are dealing with one portion, cover the rest of the dough otherwise it will turn dry.
- Place the ball on a maze flour dusted surface.
- Sprinkle some flour in the ball also.
- Flatten it softly using your finger tips. If needed, you can roll the roti with rolling pin (belan) but with very very light hands. Keep the roti slightly thick.
- Put the roti on hot tawa and keep the heat low to medium.
- First let the roti turn slightly firm. If you will try to turn it's side immediately, it may break.
- Mark the slight dents in roti which will help to get it cooked deep inside with the immersion of oil.
- Once the roti is firm, turn it's side.
- Now cook the roti from both sides using oil.
- Likewise cook the entire portions of dough.
- Serve hot with a cup of hot tea.
