The key to making tasty meetho bajra rotlo at home are
- Firstly, rotla dough should be soft and smooth, do not knead tight dough also I made rotla by tapping it by hand. beginners can find it difficult with bare hands and i recommend making it with a rolling pin.
- Secondly, meetho rotlo has to be thick as compared to normalย rotlo. if you roll it thin, it may start to have cracks and disintegrate.
- Lastly, Cook rotla on medium heat and drizzle with a generous amount of ghee and sugar in its cavity.
