MAKKI KI ROTI (PAN-FRIED MAIZE BREAD)

A traditional north Indian bread, Makki Ki Roti is served straight off the griddle topped with a dollop of fresh homemade butter!

Mix the maize flour and salt to taste in a large flat plate.
Make a well in the centre and add a little water at a time to knead the flour into a dough. The resultant dough must be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
Lightly flour a rolling surface and roll each ball into a circle approximately 5" in diameter (1/4" thick).
Heat a griddle on a medium fire.
Put each roti on the griddle and cook on the first side for 30 seconds then turn.
After 30 seconds spread a little ghee on the top surface and turn immediately. Fry for a minute and turn again. Do this till the roti is crisp and golden on both sides.
Serve hot, topped with a small dollop of butter.
