Handmade Roti – Indian Flatbread

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cupWholemeal Flour
  • 1 cupPlain Flour
  • 1 teaspoonSalt
  • 1 tablespoonVegetable Oil
  • 3/4 cupWarm Water
  • 2 tablespoonsMelted Ghee

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, plain flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  2. 2.Add Wet Ingredients

    Pour the vegetable oil into the flour mixture, followed by the warm water. Begin mixing with your hands.

  3. 3.Knead the Dough

    Continue mixing and kneading the dough in the bowl until it comes together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for several minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

  4. 4.Rest the Dough

    Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll.

  5. 5.Divide the Dough

    After resting, lightly flour your work surface. Roll the dough into a log shape and then divide it into 8 equal portions using a knife.

  6. 6.Roll Out Roti

    Take one portion of dough, flatten it slightly with your hands, and then use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin, round flatbread, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

  7. 7.Cook the Roti

    Heat a flat pan or tawa over medium-high heat. Place the rolled roti onto the hot pan. Cook for about 30-60 seconds until bubbles appear and the roti puffs up. Flip it over and cook the other side until it is lightly browned with charred spots.

  8. 8.Brush with Ghee

    Once cooked, remove the roti from the pan and place it on a plate. Immediately brush the top with melted ghee for added flavor and softness.

  9. 9.Repeat for Remaining Dough

    Continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough portions, brushing each cooked roti with ghee as you go. Serve warm with your favorite curry or dish.
