Rinse the split red lentils thoroughly and soak them in water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chilies.
Heat 1 tablespoon (14g) of desi ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the green chilies and sauté for another minute. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn white on the outside.
Add the soaked lentils, salt to taste, and 400ml of water. Mix well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the lentils are soft. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed for desired consistency.
In a separate bowl, mix bajra flour with a pinch of salt and enough warm water to form a soft dough. Divide into 2-3 portions and roll each into a flat disc (roti).
Heat a tawa or skillet and cook each bajra roti on both sides until brown spots appear, brushing lightly with the remaining desi ghee.
Serve the hot chicken & lentil curry with freshly made bajra roti.
