Recipe for making Soft Rotis

Ingredients needed

Whole Wheat flour -1 cup

Salt – a pinch

Oil – 1 tsp

Little rice flour for dusting

Board and rolling pin

Tawa

Ghee ( optional)

Method

• Take 1 cup of flour, add a pinch of salt and a tsp of oil. Then mix ½ cup of warm water gradually little by little and knead it into a dough. You may need a little more or less water depending on the flour you are using. The dough should not be sticky. Grease your hands with a little oil for kneading if required.
• Make 6 equal sized balls. Have some rice flour for dusting.
• Roll out into round shapes using little rice flour for dusting. With practice you can easily do this.
• Heat the tawa and place the rolled out dough on it. Let it cook for a few minutes. You will see small bubbles forming.
• Flip it over to the other side and cook, turning and pressing it with a small towel/napkin.It will puff.
• Remove from the tawa , apply a little ghee (optional) and eat with any side dish of your choice.
• If you are not using the roptis immediately wrap it in a muslin cloth and store it in an airtight container.
