Recipe
1
Dry roast the hemp seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium-low heat until they pop and release a nutty aroma, then let them cool completely.
2
In a mortar and pestle or a blender, combine the roasted hemp seeds, mint, coriander, green chillies, garlic, ginger, and raw mango.
3
Grind everything into a smooth, thick paste using a few splashes of water, adding salt to taste.
4
Transfer the vibrant chutney into a serving bowl and set aside.
5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finger millet flour with a pinch of salt and gradually knead with warm water to form a soft, pliable dough.
6
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them into smooth balls, and flatten them into thick rotis using dry flour.
7
Cook the rotis on a preheated tawa over medium heat on both sides until cooked through and slightly crisp.
8
Serve the warm madua rotis immediately alongside the freshly prepared bhang ki chutney.
