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!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup maize flour (serves 2)
  • Warm water to make dough
  • Salt to taste
  • Ghee to pan fry






PREPARATION
  • 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.
