Ingredients

  • 1 cup Millet Flour (Bajra, Jowar, or Ragi – any of your choice)

  • 1 cup Spinach (Palak) – finely chopped or pureed

  • 1 small Onion – finely chopped

  • 1–2 Green Chillies – finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 tsp Ginger – grated

  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds (Jeera)

  • ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder

  • ¼ tsp Red Chilli Powder (optional)

  • 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves – chopped

  • Salt – as required

  • Water – as needed

  • Oil/Ghee – for roasting

Execution

    • Use warm water while kneading for softer rotis.

    • You can mix different millet flours (like jowar + bajra) for extra flavor.

    • Serve hot with curd, chutney, or any curry of choice.

    • If the dough is sticky, dust with dry millet flour while shaping.

    • Add grated carrot or beetroot along with palak for a colorful, nutrient-rich roti.

Additional tips

  • For added depth, roast the lobster shells in the oven before making the stock.
  • Serve with crusty bread or croutons for a delightful texture contrast.
  • Ensure the saffron is fully dissolved in the water for even flavor distribution.
