Bajri Jo Dodo (Millet Flour Flatbread)

Hi guys, this is a recipe for a popular Sindhi breakfast item... If you are looking for a different breakfast, please try this. It's nutritious (millet flour is a great replacement for white flour, and is protein-rich and fibrous), and really delicious and spicy.

This recipe is dedicated to the loving memory of my grandfather, who loved to eat this with yoghurt. He was born on 16th October 1934, and passed away on 7th December 2000.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups bajri (millet) flour (OR 1 1/2 cups bajri-Sindhi/bajra- Hindi or millet flour, and 1/2 cup atta or whole wheat flour)
1 tsp small cumin seeds (jeeri- Sindhi)
1/2 onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup chives, chopped finely
1/2 cup coriander leaves, chopped finely
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp amchur (mango powder)
1/4 tsp coriander seeds
1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter) as required

1. In a hand blender, add onion,  chives, coriander leaves, amchur and coriander seeds.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix flours, cumin seeds and salt. Knead with ghee and water.
3. Add the paste and make a thick dough.
4. Separate into balls and roll out into 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Heat griddle and cook one side. Prick holes into the other side and pour a little ghee into it.
6. Cook on other side till whole bread is golden brown.
7. Serve hot with yoghurt.
