jolada rotti | jola rotti | jowar roti | bajra bhakri with step by step photo recipe. jowar roti is very healthy roti recipe as it is made from jola da hittu or jowar ka atta or bajra flour. in north karnataka and in maharashtra it is very popular. it is often eaten with ennegayi recipe or you can even try the jolada rotti with dry garlic chutney.
i am big fan of jowar ki roti and i still remember those days when i use to live in hubli. these rotis where easily available in most of the restaurants in north karnakata and we use to have it every weekends. in recent days, i have seen small shops coming up in bangalore who sell just these rotis and north karnataka curries. i have tasted even with those shops and the taste is amazing.
i love to have a healthy diet. so i always prefer the food without oil. and this jolada rotti, jola rotti, jowar roti or bajra bhakri roti is perfect match for it. my aunt usually prepare jolada rotti in large numbers as it can be eaten as kadak rotti also (crispy roti after drying under sun). jowar ka atta is also rich in fibre and it helps in improving appetite.
usually when i make jolada rotti, jola rotti, jowar roti or bajra bhakri, i also make a spicy based curry to go with it like ennegai, bhindi ka salan, sabbasigge soppu palya, sprouts curry, batani gasi etc. i have also posted several roti collections, like ragi rotti recipe, akki rotti recipe, garlic butter naan recipe etc

Why don’t you used rolling pin? I followed the same method as yours except that I poured the boiling water into the flour bowl and knead it quite a few times. I used a rolling pin instead of my palm to roll the dough.
Hi Sindhu,
