Rotlas or Millet Flat Bread Made easy …


Last July, I posted a recipe for making Rotlas and got several comments telling me how healthy millet was but  lots of people aren’t eating it now.  I also got comments telling me that it was quite difficult to make them.  Most Gujarati girls are used to making these regularly.  I am not an expert on making these but have got better as I make them often.  Now, I have found an easier way of making them.  I hope my step by step  pictures will encourage more of you to try out  Rotlas or Millet Flat Bread.   Please follow my recipe here for making the dough.

Once you have made the dough, keep it covered with a dish cloth as the dough tends to dry quickly.

1.  Take a thick plastic bag like a Zip lock bag and cut its sides.

2.  Place the plastic bag on your work top.

3.  Place a small ball of millet dough and place it between the bag.  The dough has to be between two sheets of plastic.

4.  Using a rounded bowl, gently press the dough into a circle.
5.  Make  your perfect circle as below:
6.  Lift up the plastic.
7.  Pick up the  Rotlas or Millet Flat Bread

8.  Gently place  Rotlas or Millet Flat Bread on a hot tava or frying pan or griddle.  Make sure you don’t trap any air when placing it to cook on the tava.  The tava should be on medium heat.  Only turn it on the second side once it comes off the tava.  If it doesn’t come off the tava, it’s not ready.

9.   Once cooked, spread some ghee or butter on them before serving them with any curry.  Traditionally they are served with Aubergine Bharta and Khichedi –  the traditional food of kathiawadi farmers.
10.  I made several small bite size  Rotlas or Millet Flat Bread as they were a lot easier to cook, plus it gave more of my guests a chance to try them out.
