1. In a shallow wide pan, take the flour and mix salt. Add the 1/2 Cup of hot water into the dough. Do not add all the water at once. Add only about half and keep adding as you knead. Also, use a spoon to mix the flour as you will be adding hot water. Once you have mixed it you can start using your hands to knead.
2. Divide it into size you want and press little with your palms. To make the roti you should press/beat the circular dough with the palm of your hand on a flat surface such as the rolling board or your kitchen platform.
3. Initially use the right hand to beat it in the form of a circle and use the left hand to maintain a circle. Once it becomes big you can use both hands to beat it to make it thinner. Slowly with your hands rotate and fix the edges to get rid of cracks.
4. Heat the tawa well and put the roti on the tawa. In the next few seconds, as the roti gets a little dry, use a clean muslin cloth and apply a thin layer of water on the upper surface. The more you do like this the roti puffs up.
5. Let it remain till water evaporates a little and flip it over and press slightly with a soft cloth to make sure it is done properly on all sides. Turn it again and press with the spoon on it. So its get puffed up.

Tips :

2. When you roll the ball it should be soft on all edges.
3. Hot water is required as there is no gluten in jowar.
4. You could also a rolling pin but make sure you roll it out lightly.
