Makai Ki Roti and Sarson Ka Saag
On a trip to Solan a couple of years ago, while accompanying my husband on a visit to a pharma plant,we enjoyed the typical Makai ki Roti and Sarson ka Saag in the chill winter of HP It was a lovely treat to have it steaming hot with generous dollops of butter(compensated by the long walks in the hilly region)
Makai Ki Roti
Ingredients
Maize flour 1 cup
Wheat flour 1cup
Salt to taste
Oil 1tbsp
Butter 4 tbsp
Method
Mix both flours ,add water salt and oil and make a soft dough and keep for 5 mins.
Roll out into chappatis and cook on tawa with butter.
( You have to mix wheat flour as the maize flour does not contain gluten ,hence it will not have any elasticity,making it difficult to roll
Beginners can put the ball of dough on a plastic sheet , cover with another sheet on top and then roll out.)

Palak 1 bunch
Ghee 1 tbsp
