Recipe
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the bajra flour and salt, then gradually add warm water to knead into a soft, pliable dough using traditional hand-pounding techniques.
2
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into smooth balls.
3
Pat each ball gently between your palms, flattening it into a thick round disc on a lined surface or directly by hand.
4
Heat a heavy iron tawa (griddle) over medium flame and place the flattened bajra roti on it.
5
Cook for a minute, gently dab the top surface with a wet cloth, flip, and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
6
For the chutney, grind the roasted flaxseeds, garlic, dry red chilies, cumin seeds, and salt together in a mortar and pestle until coarsely textured.
7
Serve the hot bajra rotis generously slathered with desi ghee alongside the spicy flaxseed chutney.
