History

Wikipedia lists tikkad among Rajasthan's pan-cooked breads, a blend of flours and vegetables, and describes bejad roti as wheat mixed with jowar and gram flour. Time Out says the thali at Mahaveer Rabri Bhandar comes with a multigrain roti called tikkad, which you crush and pour the aloo pyaz sabzi over before topping it with red garlic chutney.

Yield Makes 6Hands-on 30 minTotal 45 minDifficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • 150g wholemeal flour
  • 50g jowar (sorghum) flour
  • 50g gram flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds and 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 170ml warm water
  • Melted ghee, to brush

Method

  1. Mix the three flours with the carom seeds and salt, add the water and knead a soft dough. Rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Divide into 6 balls and roll each into a disc about 5mm thick.
  3. Cook on a hot griddle for about 2 minutes a side until brown spots appear, then hold briefly over a flame to puff.
  4. Brush generously with ghee and serve hot with a potato and onion sabzi and garlic chutney.

Tip from the editors. Roll it thicker than a chapati and cook it slowly; the coarse flours need time to cook through.
