  • 1 bowl large
  • 1 pan for boiling water

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Makai ka Atta/Corn meal/Maize Flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp carom seeds/ajwain
  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups of BOILING water I used 2 1/4 cup of water
  • 2 large pieces of plastic I cut open a gallon size ziploc bag
  • rolling pin

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl mix Makai ka atta/corn meal/ maize flour with salt and carom seeds/ ajwain
  • Make a well in the flour
  • Pour the boiling water in the well
  • Use a spoon to cover the rest of the flour over the water,cover with plate and set aside for few minutes
  • When you can handle it, make a dough,cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes
  • Divide dough into 10-12 balls
  • Take a dough ball and smoothen it with your fingers and palms, roll in dry flour
  • Place the dough on plastic sheet, cover with another sheet of plastic and flatten with rolling pin
  • Place on a hot griddle/tava/pan and put some oil on both sides till golden brown on both sides

Notes

Use Boiling water and cover, it helps to soften the dough and make it easier to roll. After making dough again let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Do not move the dough inside the plastic sheets, instead move the sheets around,with the dough inside, to get an evenly rolled roti. You can try to use wax/parchment paper instead of plastic sheets.
