1
Grind the sweetcorn to a fine paste in a food processor, without adding any water. Mix the corn paste with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl to make a soft dough; only use water if needed.
2
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and roll each one into a circle of 4" diameter. Heat a tava or frying pan and cook each roti on both sides on a slow flame until golden brown, using a little oil.
