Roti

Warm, fluffy roti made from whole wheat flour offers a wholesome taste of Indian cuisine. Perfect for weeknight dinners, serve it alongside your favorite curry or simply with a drizzle of ghee for a comforting treat.

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil

Method

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add water, kneading the mixture to form a smooth and soft dough.

3. 3

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).

5. 5

   Roll each ball into a flat, thin circle using a rolling pin and a little dry flour to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Heat a tawa (griddle) or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot surface.

7. 7

   Cook the roti for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles form, then flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds.

8. 8

   Press lightly with a spatula to help puff the roti. Remove from heat and keep warm until serving.
