👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the finger millet flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing, until you form a smooth, soft, and pliable dough. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter or soft chapati dough.

   💡 プロのコツ: Adding water gradually ensures the correct dough consistency, preventing it from becoming too sticky or dry.
2. 2

   Rest the dough (optional): If time permits, cover the dough and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the water better.

   💡 プロのコツ: Resting the dough allows the flour to hydrate fully, making it easier to handle and cook.
3. 3

   Shape the rotis: Lightly grease your hands with ghee or oil. Take a portion of the dough (about the size of a small lime) and flatten it into a thin, round disc on a clean surface or a greased plastic sheet. Aim for a thickness of about 2-3 mm. You can also use a rolling pin if preferred, but be gentle as millet dough can be delicate.

   💡 プロのコツ: Keeping hands lightly greased prevents sticking, and a thin, even thickness ensures the roti cooks properly.
4. 4

   Cook the rotis: Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with ghee or oil. Carefully place the shaped roti onto the hot griddle.

   💡 プロのコツ: A moderately hot griddle is key for cooking the roti evenly without burning.
5. 5

   Flip and cook: Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until small bubbles start to appear. Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear and the roti is cooked through. You can gently press the edges with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

   💡 プロのコツ: Watch for bubbles as an indicator that the roti is cooking well on the first side before flipping.
6. 6

   Serve: Remove from the griddle and serve hot. Kodo ko Roti is best enjoyed fresh.

   💡 プロのコツ: Kodo ko Roti is best eaten immediately after cooking for optimal texture and flavor.
