• 1/2 cup Onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup Tomato, chopped

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of Jowar flour and the 1/4 teaspoon of Salt. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of hot water while mixing with a spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it is pliable and not sticky.
2. 2Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface (using a little extra jowar flour if needed, not listed), roll each portion into a thin circle, about 15.24-17.78 cm in diameter, to form rotis.
3. 3Heat a dry griddle or flat pan over medium-high heat. Cook each roti for 1-2 minutes per side, until small brown spots appear and the roti is cooked through. Set the cooked rotis aside.
4. 4Heat the 2 tablespoons of Oil in a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat (around 162.8°C or 160°C). Add the 1/2 cup of chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the onion turns golden brown and soft.
5. 5Add the 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
6. 6Stir in the 1/2 cup of chopped tomato, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and the spices are fragrant.
7. 7Add the 1 1/2 cups of boiled chickpeas to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to heat through and absorb the flavors of the spices. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
8. 8Spoon the spiced chickpea mixture into the center of each jowar roti. Fold the rotis in half to create taco shapes and serve immediately.
