Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water while kneading until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
- Knead for about 5-7 minutes.
Resting the Dough
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.
Dividing & Rolling
- Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball lightly to create a smooth surface.
- On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Cooking the Roti
- Preheat a flat skillet or tava over medium-high heat.
- Cook the rolled-out roti for about 30 seconds, or until small bubbles form.
- Flip it over, apply a little ghee or oil if desired, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Gently press down with a spatula to encourage puffing.
- Remove the cooked roti from the skillet and keep it warm in a covered container.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature if consuming within a couple of days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
