Step 1

Sieve the maize flour in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add finely chopped coriander leaves, carom seeds, and salt. Add warm water little by little and knead a little stiff and smooth dough (like paratha dough).

Step 3

Divide it into 6 equal portions. Wet your palms with few drops of water and make round shaped balls from each portion. Take a plastic ziplock bag and cut it from two sides. Place the bag over a rolling board and put one ball over it. Simultaneously, start heating the tawa over medium flame.

Step 4

Press the dough ball a little with your palms and flatten it. Cover it with a side of the plastic bag and gently roll it out into medium thick round shaped roti.

Step 5

Remove plastic from the upper side and gently transfer the rolled roti over your palm by turning it upside down as shown in the photo.

Step 6

Now easily remove the plastic from the top as if you are peeling it.

Step 7

Place the rolled roti over heated tawa and cook it for a minute.

Step 8

Flip it with a spatula and spread few drops of oil over it.

Step 9

Again, flip it after about a minute and spread oil over upper side. Flip and cook until light brown spots appear on both sides.

Step 10

Transfer it to a plate and spread butter over it. Serve it immediately with sarson da saag. Makki di roti turns chewy once it cools down, so serve it hot.
