Step 1: Prepare the dough
Start by mixing the cornmeal with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Gradually add warm water and knead it into a soft, smooth dough. Be careful not to make it too sticky. Let the dough rest for about 5-10 minutes. (Time: 5-10 minutes)
Step 2: Divide the dough
Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball. Roll them gently into smooth balls. (Time: 2-3 minutes)
Step 3: Roll out the roti
On a flat surface, dust lightly with dry cornmeal. Take one dough ball and gently flatten it with your hands into a small disc. Then, roll it out using a rolling pin into a round, even roti. If the dough sticks, dust with more cornmeal. (Time: 4-5 minutes per roti)
Step 4: Heat the tawa
Place a tawa (griddle) on medium-high heat. Let it get hot enough that a few drops of water sizzle on contact. (Time: 2 minutes)
Step 5: Cook the roti
Once the tawa is hot, place the rolled-out roti on it. Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the roti and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes more. Press gently with a cloth or spatula to help it puff up. (Time: 3-4 minutes per side)
Step 6: Apply ghee or butter
Once cooked, remove the roti from the tawa and brush it with ghee or butter, if desired. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls. (Time: 1 minute per roti)
Step 7: Serve
Your delicious, golden Makki Ki Roti is ready to serve! Pair it with your favorite curry, saag, or vegetables. Enjoy while warm! (Total Time: 20-25 minutes)
