Bajra Chapati
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine bajra flour, ginger garlic paste, and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough.
2. Rest the Dough
Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb moisture and soften.
3. Roll the Chapati
Knead the dough once more. Using dry bajra flour for dusting, flatten and gently roll the dough into a small chapati.
4. Cook the Chapati
Heat a tawa or skillet and cook the chapati on both sides until brown spots appear. Apply ghee on top before serving.
Special Comments
Bajra chapati is a hearty, gluten-free flatbread that’s rich in fiber and minerals. With the earthy aroma of bajra and the warmth of ginger-garlic, it’s a delicious and nutritious choice for everyday meals, especially in winters.
Bajra Chapati
Notes/ Precautions
Knead with warm water – Using slightly warm water can help bind bajra flour better, making the dough smoother and easier to roll.
Roll gently – Bajra flour lacks gluten, so the dough can crack. Roll gently using dry flour to prevent sticking.
Serve immediately – These chapatis taste best when hot, as they may harden a bit when cool.
Apply ghee post-cooking – A layer of ghee enhances flavor and keeps the chapati soft and moist.
