A classic Punjabi combo of Makke Ki Roti and Sarsaon Ka Saag served with some onion, radish & jaggery makes one of the best wholesome meals in winters. Makke Ki roti is a delicious pan fried bread made with Makki ka aata or maize flour and is flavored with ginger, green chilly and other spices.

It has a very rustic feel and usually served with dollops of homemade white butter, but if you’re counting on calories then you can simply skip it. Though, we would emphasize that butter smeared makke ki roti gives the authentic Punjabi taste.

Making make ki roti for the first time can be slight tricky as it requires little bit of skill to make its dough and roll out fine round rotis. But with some practice and patience you can master it too….and why not, it is not some rocket science.



Makke ki roti and sarsoan ka saag is a match made in heaven. But this pure rustic bread also tastes great with palak tamatar ki subzi and dal makhni. Team with dhaniye ka raita and bel ka sharbat for a wholesome meal.
