Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the maize flour (makki ka atta), plain flour, salt, and a drizzle of oil. Gradually add water, little by little, and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. Be cautious with the water, as you only need enough to form a smooth dough.
-
Shape the Rotis: Once the dough is smooth and soft, break off a small portion and roll it into a smooth ball between your palms. Flatten the ball slightly and pat it with your palm to form a thin roti. You can use dry plain flour to dust the surface and prevent sticking, or roll it out with a rolling pin.
-
Cook the Rotis: Heat a heavy iron or earthen griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer the rolled-out roti onto the hot griddle. Cook until small bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip it over and cook the other side. Repeat the process for all the rotis, cooking them until they are crisp and golden brown on both sides.
-
Keep Warm: As each roti finishes cooking, transfer it to a plate lined with napkins to keep them warm and absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve: Once all the rotis are cooked, drizzle them with ghee or butter if desired. Serve hot alongside Sarson ka Saag, sliced onion, and a wedge of lime for a traditional Punjabi meal experience.
Indulge in the delightful combination of flavors and textures as you savor each bite of these homemade Makki Di Rotis. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of Punjab’s culinary heritage right in your own kitchen!
