Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored plant-based protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for added softness)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, plant-based protein powder, ground flaxseed, and salt.
If using olive oil, mix it into the dry ingredients for added softness.
Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, and begin kneading the dough. Continue adding water until the dough comes together in a smooth, pliable ball. Ensure the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes to activate the gluten and make it easier to roll.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into small balls.
Lightly flour a rolling surface and roll out each ball into a thin disc, about 6 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin to keep the edges even.
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Carefully place one rolled-out roti onto the hot skillet.
Cook for 30-40 seconds or until bubbles start to form, then flip to the other side. Cook for an additional 30-40 seconds and press lightly with a spatula to encourage puffing.
Flip once more and cook for a final 10-20 seconds until light golden-brown spots appear.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack cooked rotis in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Serve warm with your favorite protein-rich curries, dal, or vegetables.
