Jowar roti is a gluten free flatbread. Jowar roti is prepared without adding wheat flour. This gluten free roti is prepared by mixing Jowar flour with salt, oil, isabgol/ psyllium husk  and then kneaded with hot water. 

Quick tips -

1. Why hot water for kneading?

- Because Jowar flour is gluten free so hot water helps to bind the dough together.

2. Why isabgol/ psyllium husk?
