Ingredients
Instructions
Pour the hot water over the flour and salt, rest 5 minutes, then knead into a soft, pliable dough while still warm.
Pat each ball flat between your palms (or between sheets of parchment) — bajra has no gluten, so roll gently.
Cook on a hot tawa ~1 minute per side, then finish directly on the flame until it puffs.
Brush with ghee and serve hot.
