Pumpkin Masala Jowar Roti | Jonna Rotta Recipe | Special Desi Recipes
India is a storehouse of several ancient grains for being super healthy. One such popular grain is Jowar. Jowar also makes a great option for the ones trying to shed some extra kilos. Since it lacks gluten, it gets a little tricky to use, but as you discover more and more about its capabilities, we will be able to create a lip-smacking variety, even gluten-free.
Jowar Or Sorghum, also called Jola or Jondhalaa a popular grain that is enriched with protein, fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients. The fiber and protein content in jowar helps induce a feeling of being full for a long time and which can aid digestion, manage obesity and regulate blood sugar levels.
To make jowar roti one should follow certain rules to get around and unbreakable roti. Unlike wheat flour, it lacks elasticity ( Gluten). So while making rotis, one often uses the palm of his or her to give them shape before tossing them on hot Tawa. If one doesn't want to use palm, then have to knead very well till it forms elasticity ( gluten ) or adds other flour which has gluten like wheat flour.
This post is about the pumpkin masala jawar roti which is 100 % gluten-free and which we can prepare very easily ( If we follow some rules to prepare jawar roti). We added pumpkin and masala along with methi leaves to make the roti super healthy and tasty. Jowar flour and methi leaves along pumpkin are nutrient-rich and have anti-diabetes properties.
To make any of the jowar roti, jowar flour should be kneaded well with hot water. Here we are using grated pumpkin along with masala and onion, methi, and coriander leaves. Saute the grated pumpkin for about 2 minutes to leave the raw smell then add all the masala ingredients in water and mix well then bring to boil, Then add flour and saute and rest for a few minutes to make the roti round.
As this masala roti contains green leaves and grated pumpkin, use a wet cloth to make the jowar roti. Take a small amount of dough on the wet cloth and flatten it with your wet fingers. Dip the finger in water whenever required. With this tip, one can make pumpkin jowar roti as this as they can but have to be careful while tossing the roti when it is very thin. Here in this recipe, I used grated pumpkin, one can use the pumpkin puree rather than grating the pumpkin. This roti can be done with or without oil. Adding oil/ghee is as per self taste and diet plan. If one wants to feed this roti to the kids then add some little oil or ghee to the roti to make it tastier. So that even kids can enjoy this tasty and healthy roti.
