- Knead it into a soft dough using warm buttermilk as required. Keep aside.
- Divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll them out into 5" in diameter making sure it is not too thin. Use wheat flour for dusting so that the roti does not stick while rolling out.

Notes
- You can swap the wheat flour with sorghum flour for a gluten-free option.
- Ensure that the buttermilk is warm for softer rotis.

I’m not a roti person but this seems quite easy to make as a snack for kids also. Love your recipes, Madhu!

I saw your reel for this. Thanks for tip on warm buttermilk, I will use jowar atta, as have given up on wheat due to the gluten.

Warm butter milk will make it soft. Otherwise jowar roti is very difficult to make in softer version. We make it by boiling water and then adding flour to it. This recipe is simple yet look tempting.

This roti mix is new to me, thank you for introducing me to sorghum too. Will try and see if it works out for me. I enjoy reading your recipes.

I love making and eating parathas but have never made them with a combination of flours jowar, besan and wheat. Will sure give it a try.

It sounds a bit like missi roti but the green chilli paste must be making it spicy. I would love to try it, Madhu ji. Thanks for sharing unique recipes from different states. Warm buttermilk for the dough sounds interesting as buttermilk is usually cool.

I might try swapping the wheat flour with sorghum flour and see how that variant tastes. As always, your recipe is so simple and healthy, I don’t hesitate to try it out

This recipe is a fantastic guide for making a nutritious multigrain bread. The detailed step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow, even for beginners. The use of different flours like bajra, jowar, and whole wheat adds a unique flavour and health benefits. The tips on kneading the dough and cooking the rotis to perfection are particularly helpful. This recipe is a must-try

I am not a roti person Madhu Ma’am, but my family loves rotis. I only have it once in a while. I really like the idea of using buttermilk to knead the dough and this rajasthani roti looks tasty n by the look I can say that it is really soft.

I love rotis, but i find it too tedious to make. I’ll try this. What’s the side dish for this?
June 21, 2024 @ 8:04 pm
I like how versatile this roti is. We can try different combinations of flours. I prefer this one though. So delicious.

As soon as I saw the paratha pic, I clicked to read this post. Other things being similar to the wheat+besan paratha, can you please tell me the importance of adding warm buttermilk here?
June 21, 2024 @ 9:44 pm
Raita and pickle as sides? Classic combo! These rotis are definitely meant for a satisfying meal.

I usually make jowar roti with warm water, but I’ve never tried using buttermilk or green chili paste. I’m definitely going to try this version!
