Prep
Finely chop the onion, dill and coriander leaves.
Grate the cabbage and carrot.
Making the Dough
Take a mixing bowl and add the cabbage, carrot, onion, dill leaves and coriander leaves.
Add cumin seeds and salt. Mix it all well.
To this, add the Jowar flour little by little and mix with the veggies. The water in the veggies will help form the dough.
If the dough is dry, then add 1/4 cup of water and mix. Please check the video for the consistency.
Tips for the dough
Add Jowar flour to veggies and not the other way around.
One cup of Jowar flour for every 3.5 to 4 cups of veggies.
Add water as needed if dry.
Making the Roti
Spread 1/4 tsp oil over a cold tawa.
Take a handful of dough, pat and spread on tawa into a circle of like-able size.
Wet your hands in water to help spread the dough.
Do not spread it too thin to prevent breaking.
Make a hole in the middle to add oil
Place the tawa on a medium flame
Add 1/2 tsp oil around and in the middle.
Cover and cook for about a minute or until golden brown.
Flip and cook for about 30 seconds.
Cripy Masala Jowar Roti is ready! Enjoy with coconut chutney.
More Tips
Take two tawas and alternate
Running tawa under cold water helps cool it faster
Pat on parchment paper or banana leaf and transfer to tawa.
