Jolada rotti

Jolada rotti or jowar roti's are very famous in north Karnataka region, infact it their staple food and since Bangalore is a cosmopolitan city, its gained a lot of popularity here as well. Every area in the city has many such food joints serving Uttara Karnataka specialties.

My mom used to make rotti out of this jowar flour but unlike the bhakri's they make in North Karnataka. This one's the usual akki rotti style but made out of jolada rotti. One fine day i had to experiment it on my hubby and the end result he loved it, the best part however is that not only him but other members of the family as well ended up liking it.
