Let’s dive into this easy recipe and bring the wholesome goodness of bajra to your meals.
**Serves:** 4 (Makes approximately 8 rotis) **Preparation Time:** 5 minutes **Cooking Time:** 10-12 minutes **Total Time:** 15-17 minutes
**Ingredients:**
- 2 cups of bajra (pearl millet) flour
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- Water (as required by the Rotimatic)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: A pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) or cumin seeds for extra flavor
**Preparation Steps:**
1. **Mix the Flour:**Combine 2 cups of bajra flour with 1 cup of whole wheat flour. Bajra flour alone can be crumbly, so the wheat flour helps bind the dough seamlessly. Add a pinch of salt and optional spices like ajwain or cumin seeds for added taste.
2. **Load the Rotimatic:**Transfer the flour mixture into the flour container of your Rotimatic machine. Ensure the water and oil containers are filled appropriately for the recipe.
3. **Set Your Preferences:**Customize the Rotimatic settings to match your preference for thickness, roast level, and oil. For traditional bajra rotis, a slightly thicker and softer texture works best.
4. **Let Rotimatic Do Its Magic:**Press start and watch as Rotimatic kneads, rolls, and cooks perfect bajra rotis in minutes. It’s as simple as a push of a button!
5. **Serve Hot:**Your fresh, healthy bajra rotis are now ready to be served. Pair them with ghee, vegetable curries, or even a dollop of fresh yogurt for a balanced and satisfying meal.
**Pro Tip:**To keep the bajra rotis soft, cover them with a damp kitchen towel after cooking. This will help lock in moisture and maintain their texture.
