Procedure:
Take "Bajra Flour" in a large bowl, add salt and mix it well

Cover the loose dough with a piece of cloth and keep it aside for a few minutes to cool down
Knead the dough with hands till it gets soft and seems uniform
Make small balls
Sprinkle a good amount of Bajra flour on the rolling board (alternatively one can use Sabudana/ Tapioca or Rice flour to ensure a gluten free recipe)
Make rotis by
Gentle pressing and rotating the dough balls using palms, OR,
Rolling the dough balls between 2 food grade plastic sheets or butter paper
Gently lift the up the roti and place it on a hot tawa. Dab a water-soaked cloth all over the roti side facing up
Once the base side cooks, flip the roti and repeat dabbing the water-soaked cloth on the other side
