Ingredients:


2 cup Bajra/Millet flour
2 1/2 cup warm luke water 
Salt to taste( Optional)
Bread Presser/Clean wash cloth
1 8X8 Cookie Sheet
1 large bowl of warm luke water

Mix Flour & salt in mixing bowl

Now start adding warm water slowly.(Do not pour entire cup in the batter).

Place your cookie sheet of rolling mat ( I prefer to use cookie sheet as it does not stick and easy to peel).

Dip your fingers in water, rub it on your palm. (Always keep your hands damp wet to handle dough).

Make a 2 golf size quantity ball dough..

Keep rolling the dough ball in between your palm until all corners of dough ball is sealed and there is no cracks.

Once sealed properly, Wet the cookie sheet with few drops of water..

place dough ball on cookie sheet and start firmly pressing middle of the dough with your fingers. (Remember, making a flat bread with any Gluten-free dough is like playing with clay dough)!!!

Once you start stretching the dough the edges is going to start cracking....That's OK! Just make sure to keep your hands wet..

Once you get to desired size and thickness,(I wouldn't recommend making it to thin)! wet your both hands and now hold your bread edge with your left hand(make a shape of C)  take right hand 2 fingers(wet) and start sealing the crack edges.

Place non-stick pan on high to medium heat and carefully pick your cookie, flip it on your palm (Do not flip it directly on pan as it's dangerous and may cause injuries)!

Place the bread slowly on the pan. 

After few mins check if one side is cooked, shake your pan and if the bread moves it's ready.Flip uncooked side.

Firmly press flat bread with bread presser(I broke my bread presser, so i am using clean wash cloth). 

Once both side is cooked remove bread from pan and place it on the range on medium heat... grill both side.

Enjoy it with your favorite Chutney or Green Sabzi!!!
