Gur Ki Roti (Jaggery Roti)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup grated jaggery (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- Water, as needed
- Ghee or butter for cooking
Instructions:
1. Prepare Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, grated jaggery, and cardamom powder.
- Mix well, then gradually add water and knead the mixture into a soft dough. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
2. Divide and Roll Out Dough:
- Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
- Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your palm. Dust it with some dry wheat flour to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough ball on a rolling board and gently roll it out into a thin, round roti using a rolling pin. The thickness should be uniform.
3. Cook Roti:
- Heat a tawa (griddle) or a flat skillet over medium heat.
- Once the tawa is hot, carefully transfer the rolled-out roti onto it.
- Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side until small bubbles start to form.
- Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until both sides have light golden-brown spots.
- Apply a little ghee or butter on both sides while cooking to make the roti richer and more flavorful.
- Press lightly with a spatula while cooking to ensure even cooking.
4. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the roti from the tawa and serve hot.
- You can serve Gur Ki Roti as is or with a dollop of ghee or yogurt for added richness.
Enjoy your wholesome and delicious Jaggery Roti!
