1 cup Corn flour, ½ cup Whole wheat flour, Salt
Now add warm water little by little and knead to make firm dough. This dough should not be sticky. Be careful while adding water. Add it only in increments. Cover it and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
¾ cup Warm water
Take small piece of dough on your working surface, Shape them into ball and pat it with your palm and fingers to form bread of medium thickness. It is difficult to roll out this bread using rolling pin. So I generally prefer making mini flatbreads
Heat tava / griddle and grease with butter or oil. Place the rolled flat bread on it and drizzle some more butter. Cook on medium high flame till one side is little browned. Then flip on the other side and drizzle some more butter. Cook until it becomes golden brown on both the sides.
Oil
Repeat the process for remaining dough.
Corn Flour Bread or Makki Ki Roti is ready. Serve hot with butter, Sarson ka Saag or Mustard greens gravy and enjoy.
