Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 1 cup Sorghum flour (jowar flour)
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Oil (optional, for rolling or cooking)
- 0.25 cup Extra gluten-free flour (oat or sorghum, for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, sorghum flour, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the boiling water while stirring the mixture with a spoon or spatula. Be careful to avoid burns as the mixture will be hot.
Once the mixture begins to come together, allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Then knead it with your hands into a soft, smooth dough. If necessary, add a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Dust a clean surface with a small amount of gluten-free flour. Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin, circular roti using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Carefully place a rolled-out roti onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Optionally, brush the roti with a small amount of oil or ghee (if your dietary preferences allow) for added flavor and softness.
Repeat with the remaining rotis. Serve warm with your favorite curry, dip, or side dish.
