About This Recipe

Jowar roti (or sorghum flour roti) is an Indian gluten-free flatbread. Many think that jowar flour rotis are very difficult to roll or it becomes hard after making. But if you will follow exact steps then you can make perfectly rolled jowar rotis that are smooth and soft.

Adding different flours to chapati dough is a great way to consume a variety of flours. it is very important to consume different millets, so you can either mix a variety of flours to your chapati dough or can even make millet rotis like jowar roti or bajra roti or farali roti. Farali roti is made by combining sama rice, sabudana, rajgira flour and singhare ka atta.

With this farali roti, you can make a delectable zero oil vrat ki thali, that you can enjoy guilt-free during vrat or fasting.

Health Benefits of Jowar Flour

Jowar is a gluten-free whole grain, and so it’s a perfect alternative for people who have gluten intolerance.

Its also a great choice for diabetic patients, since it digests slowly and hence leads to stable blood sugar levels.

It’s a rich source of iron and protein and contains a good amount of fibre.

Ingredients

To make Jowar Roti, you need just 3 ingredients – Jowar Flour, Water and Oil.

You will find Jowar Flour at any online store such as Amazon, Big Basket, etc. But if possible try and get freshly ground jowar flour from nearby mill. Sometimes, readymade jowar flour is grainy. If the flour is too grainy, then you may even grind it once before using.

Step-by-Step Recipe

Sift jowar flour. Take flour in a bowl.

Now add 1/3 cup water and mix. Initially add equal amount of water as flour.

NOTE : The consistency of the mixture should be such that you should easily be able to mix with a spoon. Mixture should not be too stiff nor too watery. Quantity of water will vary according to the quality of jowar flour.

We added 1 tablespoon more water. Mix well with a spoon and check the consistency.

Press and level with the back of spoon or spatula.

Now take water in a pressure cooker and put stand on it. Place vessel containing jowar 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 ½  teaspoon oil and knead well for about 2-3 minutes or till dough becomes smooth and crack free. You need to knead the dough when it is warm or hot. If the dough becomes cold, it will be difficult to knead it.

Now divide the dough in 3 equal parts and make smooth crack free balls.

Let it cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or till you notice bubbles. Flip it over and roti will puff up. Flip it. Then press lightly and take out on a plate. Immediately apply ghee over it.
