Bajra Roti is a staple roti in Rajasthan though these days it is made in all other regions as well.Bajra / Pearl millet or Kambu is a very healthy millet which has great cooling effect.Bajra Roti with lahsun chutney and raw onions is a great combination.The rotis are slightly crispier at the edges with a crumbly texture.We loved it with the spicy lehsun chutney and raw onion slices.
I used homemade bajra flour, you can either make bajra flour at home or buy from any supermarket.

My Notes:
- You can make big rotis too.
- If the dough is too tight then you will not be able to shape it,the rotis will break.
- Make sure to cook on one side , only then cook on direct flame.
- You can make thick or thin rotis.
