While you would have often enjoyed corn as an add-on to dishes like Rotis , bhajias, pakode, Pulaos , Subzis / Curries and several continental dishes too, this unique Dhaniye aur Makai ki Roti gives it an equal footing with wheat flour!

Crushed corn and wheat flour, in equal proportions, are perked up with coriander and myriad spice powders to prepare the dough for a really lip-smacking and sumptuous roti that has a melt-in-the-mouth texture that you will enjoy to the core.

Do justice to this irresistible dish by topping it with a dollop of butter before serving! This roti is also a tasty and filling option to serve for Breakfast .
