Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.5 cup lentil flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon carom seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, and lentil flour.
Add the salt, ground flaxseeds, cumin seeds, and carom seeds (if using) to the flour mixture.
Mix all the dry ingredients well until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add warm water to the dry mixture, stirring with a spoon or your hand until the dough starts to come together.
Drizzle in the olive oil while kneading the dough to help it become smooth and elastic.
Once the dough is well-kneaded and soft, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter, dusting lightly with flour if sticky.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.
Place a rolled-out roti on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another minute, pressing lightly with a spatula until cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, serving the hot rotis immediately with your choice of side dish or curry.
