Course Side Dish
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 People

Ingredients

  • 7-8 medium sized taro root boiled, arbi
  • 3 Tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp carom seeds ajwain
  • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds jeera
  • 1/8 tsp asafetida hing
  • 1 Tbsp coriander powder dhania
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric haldi
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 green chilies sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp mango powder amchoor

Instructions

  • Wash arbi before boiling and do not over boil the arbi as they become very slimy. I prefer to boil arbi in a pot so that it is easy to check if they are cooked. Arbi should be firm, and knife should go through effortless.
  • Peel the skin and slice them into about 1/8โ€ thick rounds. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix turmeric, coriander powder, and red chili powder with 1/4 cup of water to make a paste. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in wide pan over medium heat, oil should be moderately hot, (when you add the cumin seed to oil it should crack right away).
  • Add carom seeds, and cumin seeds as cumin seeds crack add asafetida,
  • Stir and add spice paste stir for about 30 seconds till oil start separating from oil.
  • Add green chili stir for few seconds.
  • Add arbi spreading over the pan, sprinkle the salt, and mango powder gently fold the arbi with spice mix, all the arbies should be coated well with spices. Making sure arbies are not sticking to each other.
  • Sautรฉe them over medium heat till they are lightly brown both sides. Turning them occasionally gently. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Makki Ki Roti โ€“ Paratha

3 February 2023 at 06:00

Makki Ki Roti is a popular Punjabi bread made with corn flour and served with Sarson Ka Saag. Maki ki roti is also a Gluten Free flat bread.

This recipe will make 6 rotis, and will serve 3.

Makki Ki Roti Recipe by ManjulaIngredients:

  • 2 cups makki ka atta, corn flour
  • 1 cup potato, boiled peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons dry fenugreek leaves, kasuri mathi
  • 1/8 teaspoon asafetida, hing
  • ยพ cup warm water
  • 3 tablespoons of ghee or clarified butter for cooking roties

We also need a plastic sheet about 8โ€ x 12โ€ to roll the roties I am using a zip lock bag.

Method

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, corn flour, salt chili flakes, fenugreek leaves, and asafetida mix it well. Add potato to the mixture and mix. This will become very crumbly. Add water as needed to make the firm dough. Knead the dough for a minute. For makki ki roti make the dough when ready to make roti.
  2. Note: Makki ki roti is little hard to roll that is the reason I decided to use potatoes. Potatoes help to binding the dough.
  3. Divide the dough in 6 equal parts. Make them in smooth balls.
  4. Take one ball press it between the plastic sheet plastic sheet help rolling the roti, roll the roti into about 6-inch circle. Note: may be the edges will not be as clean like other roties.
  5. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Skillet should not be very hot. Otherwise roties will not cook through.
  6. Place the roti in the skillet. As it cooks, the dough will change color and have a dryer look. Turn the roti over using a spatula. You should see golden-brown spots on the semi-cooked side.
  7. After few seconds, spread 1 teaspoon ghee onto the roti using a spatula. Turn the roti over. Using your spatula, lightly press the entire surface of the roti to help it cook all the way through. Put the ghee on both sides of the roti while cooking. Grill the roti from both sides making sure it is golden-brown on both sides.ย  Remove from heat.
  8. Repeat with the remaining dough, until they are all done.

Serve them hot. Makki ki roti traditionally served with sarson ka saag or dal makhani. If you are vegan use the oil for cooking the roties.
