Pearl Millet Roti Recipe – Soft & Nutritious Bajra Roti

Pearl Millet Roti, commonly known as Bajra Roti, is a staple in many Indian households, especially during winter months. Made using just pearl millet flour and hot water, this roti is highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and provides long-lasting energy.

Unlike wheat rotis, bajra rotis are slightly denser and more filling, making them an excellent choice for people looking for wholesome, traditional, and millet-based meals. When cooked properly, they are soft inside with a lightly crisp surface and pair beautifully with dals, vegetable curries, and chutneys.

Ingredients

  • Pearl millet flour – 1 cup

  • Hot water – 1 cup

Preparation Method

  1. Sieve the pearl millet flour into a mixing bowl.

  2. Gradually add hot water to the flour and mix using a spoon.

  3. Knead the mixture into a smooth and soft dough while it is still warm.

  4. Divide the dough into medium-sized round balls.

  5. Place a dough ball on a polythene sheet or parchment paper.

  6. Flatten it into a round shape using a rolling pin or by gently pressing with your palm.

  7. Heat a tawa on medium flame and place the roti on it.

  8. Cook on both sides until brown spots appear and the roti is cooked evenly.

  9. Remove from tawa and serve hot.
