Makki Di Roti (Punjabi Corn Flatbread)
One serving has 323 kcal and 5 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of phosphorus (27%), magnesium (21%), selenium (20%) and pyridoxine (20%). Ready in 30 minutes.
- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (124 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: dairy
Ingredients
- 70 g Corn flour, white
- 45 g Water
- 1 g Salt
- 8 g Ghee
Method
- Bring a little of the water to a near-boil and mix it into the corn flour and salt to soften it, then knead in the rest of the water while still warm into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Pat a portion of the dough out by hand between two sheets of plastic or greased parchment into a thin, even round, since corn dough is too fragile to roll with a pin.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and carefully transfer the round to it.
- Cook 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until firm and lightly speckled brown on both sides.
- Serve hot with a generous smear of the ghee.
