Dhana Lahsan Jowar Rotla / Coriander Garlic Sorghum Flat Bread is a unleavened flatbread made with sorghum flour and a paste made with coriander, garlic and green chili. It is served hot with baigan bharta or curry. It can also be enjoyed with pickle or yogurt or jaggery and ghee or gujarati kadhi or dal. It is thicker than the regular thin roti/chapati.
I prefer adding a little amount of wheat flour while kneading the dough to make the rotis soft. However if you want to make gluten free roti then skip adding wheat flour to it. Addition of curd to the dough gives sourness and softness to the roti. To make it vegan, skip adding curd to the dough and add more water instead. Knead a semi soft dough to make soft roti.
The rotis taste soft and nice when served hot. However you can make the roti and then wrap it in the cloth and just while serving warm it in microwave with the cloth for 15-20 seconds and serve with the curry of your choice.
So friends do try this trational and tasty recipe for your family and friends and please share your feedback with me.
