Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of atta (whole wheat flour), 1 tablespoon of ragi flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Mix these dry ingredients well with your hands for about .
Knead the Dough
Gradually add water to the mixture and thoroughly. Continue for about , pressing with your fingers and palm, until a soft, pliable, and smooth dough is formed. The dough should absorb water well to ensure soft rotis.
Rest and Portion the Dough
Let the dough rest for about . After resting, divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
Roll the Rotis
Dust a clean surface with a little flour. Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and then use a rolling pin to roll it out evenly into a thin, round roti. Ensure it's not too thick or too thin.
Cook the Rotis
Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. Cook each side slightly for about without oil, until small bubbles appear and the color changes slightly. Then, drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of oil (like sesame oil or ghee) around the edges and on top of the roti. Cook both sides for each, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown spots appear and the roti is fully cooked. Remove from the tawa and let it cool slightly on a plate.
Prepare Date Syrup Rolls
Take one slightly cooled roti. Spread about 1 tablespoon of Lion Dates Syrup evenly over the entire surface of the roti. Carefully roll the roti tightly from one end to the other. Once rolled, cut it into two equal pieces.
Prepare Peanut Butter Rolls
Take another slightly cooled roti. Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly over the entire surface of the roti. Carefully roll the roti tightly from one end to the other. Once rolled, cut it into two equal pieces.
