Calories: 2046kcal

Ingredients

Mandua Bread (Bajra ki Roti)/ Millet Flatbread

  • 3 cups millet flour
  • 1 cup chappati flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 – 1 1/2 cups warm water

Til Ki Chutney/ Sesame Seed Chutney

  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 chiles
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

To make the Mandua Bread (Bajra ki Roti)

  • In a large bowl, combine flours and salt. Add water a little at a time, until you have a soft and kneadable dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 24 equal sized pieces and roll into balls.
  • Heat a skillet/tawa/griddle. Brush the griddle with a little ghee.
  • On a very well floured board, place one ball. Flatten into a disc and dust the top well with flour. With a floured rolling pin, roll into a circle, about 5″ in diameter.
  • With the help of a spatula if necessary, transfer to the heated skillet and cook on low heat for about 3-4 minutes until brown spots start to appear. Flip over and do the same for the opposite side. Brush the top side with ghee and remove from skillet.
  • Repeat until all the dough has been cooked.

To make the Til Ki Chutney/ Sesame Seed Chutney

  • In a dry skillet, roast sesame seeds until golden brown and fragrant.
  • Using a coffee/spice grinder, grind sesame seeds with garlic, chiles, sugar and salt.
  • Process with the cilantro and yogurt in a good processor until smooth

Notes

Ragi flour, which is usually used to make this roti known as mandua in the language of Uttarakhand is made from finger millet. American millet flour is made from pearl millet, known as Bajra in Indian markets. I used this bajra flour to make these.
Due to the nature of millet flour, the dough will have a texture similar to clay.
As you are rolling the dough, if it breaks, simply press the dough together and dust flour on top. Continue to roll.
Make sure the board, your rolling pin and the top of the roti is well floured when rolling
