Jolad Rotti - Jowar/Sorghum Flour Roti

Tastes from your childhood often hold fond memories associated with them. One of mine is Jolad Rotti or Jowar Roti which my Mother would make for us. The memories of making the flour and rotis themselves with her, make them taste even better when I enjoy them now!

Every visit to Bengaluru is incomplete for us without indulging in a Jolad Rotti meal at one of the famed restaurants there, so you can imagine how thrilled we are to enjoy the same goodness at home sweet home.

Here is my version of the good old traditional Jolad Rotti, along with sides that are traditionally served along with these :)


Ingredients: 1 cup jowar flour (available in most Indian grocery shops), 2 tbsps wheat flour, 1 cup water, salt to taste, half spoon oil.

Make: In a pan, bring to boil, the water with salt and oil. When boiling, add the wheat flour mix in without lumps, then add jowar flour mixing continuously. Turn off flame and mix to ensure a smooth dough texture. Cover it for 5 to 10 minutes to let cool to a warm temperature.

After this time, grease your hands with oil make small balls of dough. Use dry wheat flour as dusting to help roll out into rotis and cook like normal chapathi or roti.

Enjoy warm with your favourite side dishes Badnekayi Ennegayi, Kaalu Palya, Menthe Soppu Palya and Buttermilk

Absolutely soul satisfying meal :)
