hi shilpa,
Another method to do these rotis like the kamath types is to take the flour and water in the ratio 1:1quarter .The method of preparing the dough as you have mentioned it is the same. Take the dough and press it to make it soft and smooth,take a ball,put some flour and roll it with a rolling bin to make a small size roti, then make the edges little upward. Now put little flour and roll it to make a medium size thin roti.This was told by my husband’s aunt who is married to a north karnatakan.
As for frying the roti, we have to use a thick iron tawa.When the tawa heats up, put the roti on it and wipe the top part of the roti with a clean and wet muslin cloth. When the roti puffs up a little turn back and forth to fry both sides.

Hey, Thanks for this wonderful site.This is a great reference point for me whenever I decide to try soem new dish .
My approach towards Jowar Roti is slightly different when compared to that in ur site.
I use microwave containers so that things are less messy.
Initially, Boil water for 1 minutes in microwave oven and then add flour with 1:1 ratio ,mix it and boil the mixure for another 3 minutes in oven.
Knead dough throughly .Dough gets as friendly as that of chapati.You can easily spread it thin and it is hardly broken unless your concentration is lost.

Nice recipe. Loved it. Just learned a tip to make the roti thin and smooth. while making the small ball if you press little hard with in your palms to make a fine tuned ball it becomes clear of any small bubbles and while rolling it comes very thin and smooth.

Hi friends,
well, as Telugu man, I love to eat rice. But, my experince and travel make me a fan of the JOWAR. It has better qualities like less fat,easy digest,hygenic,healthy and able to maintian figure. So, I reduce my meal to two from three. I include Jowar,Ragi,Bajra in my meal instead rice. I love to know more about it.
Thanks for make me aware of one of the healthiest and hygenic millet,pulses for our body.
I love you JOWAR,RAAGI,BAJRA,WHEAT.
thank you

Hi Shilpa….thanks for letting us know this method….I made it with grand success. I was able to roll out very thin rotis and they tasted very very good. My husband enjoyed it and so did I!
