Ingredients

To make Farali Roti, you need just 3 ingredients – Farali Flour, Water and Ghee.

Do not use readymade farali atta for this recipe. Since the method that we have used for this recipe pertains to ingredients used in homemade farali flour.

How to make Farali Roti – Step by Step Recipe

Take farali flour in a bowl. Now add ¼ cup water and mix. Initially add equal amount of water as flour.

NOTE : The consistency of the mixture should be such that it should drop from spoon or spatula easily (pouring consistency). Mixture should not be too watery. Quantity of water will vary according to the texture of the farali flour (coarse or fine).

Mix well with a spoon and check the consistency.

Now take water in a pressure cooker and put stand on it. Place vessel containing farali flour+water mixture over it and cover. Close the lid of the cooker and remove whistle. Pressure cook on medium flame for 5 minutes. If you notice that the flour is not cooked well or mixture is too sticky or watery, then cook for 1-2 minutes more.

Once done, remove the vessel and take out cooked mixture in a flat plate. Add ¼  teaspoon ghee and knead well for about 1-2 minutes or till dough becomes smooth. You need to knead the dough when it is warm or hot. If the dough becomes cold, it will be difficult to knead it.

Grease palms with little ghee and take the dough between palms and make a smooth crackfree dough ball.

Now divide the dough in 2 equal parts and make smooth crack free balls.

Flatten the ball slightly and dust it with rajgira flour (amaranth flour). Roll it in a circle. You can dip the roti in rajgara flour/sprinkle rajgara flour while rolling.

The consistency of the mixture should be such that it should drop from spoon or spatula easily (pouring consistency). Mixture should not be too watery. Quantity of water will vary according to the texture of farali flour (coarse or fine).
  • It is important to knead the dough when it is warm or hot. If the dough becomes cold, it will be difficult to knead it.
