Rotis or flat breads, also called Chapati, are made from whole wheat flour and served with any vegetable dish or curries. It is generally considered a North Indian dish, though it is made and available now in almost every part of India.
Here is how you make a roti..
Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat flour - 1 cup
- Salt - a pinch
- Oil - 1 tsp
- Little wheat flour or rice flour for dusting
Cooking Appliance Required:
- Board and rolling pin
- Tawa
How To Prepare Roti/Indian Flat Bread:
- Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp of oil to the flour. Then add about 1/2 cup of water gradually to the flour and knead it into a nice soft dough (take care that it doesn’t get sticky).
- Divide the dough into 5-6 equal sized balls and roll out each ball of dough into round shapes (neither too thick nor too thin) using a little wheat flour for dusting.
- Heat the tawa and place the rolled out dough on it and cook for a few minutes.
- When small brown spots start appearing, flip it over to the other side and cook for a few seconds. Now use a heavy spoon or spatula to apply pressure on the roti so that the roti puffs up. Do the same on the other side.
- Remove from tawa and serve with any side dish or curry of your choice.
Notes:
- Rotis have to be served hot. So if you are not going to serve them hot, then keep them in a casserole or any container, which can keep it warm.
