Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams green gram (moong daal), boiled and mashed
- 50 grams chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams red lentils (masoor daal), boiled and mashed
- 120 ml water
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 tsp cumin seeds
- 0.25 tsp turmeric powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, mashed green gram, and red lentils.
Add salt, carom seeds, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder to the flour mixture and mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading continuously, to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust water quantity if needed to achieve the right consistency.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes to help it become more flexible and easier to roll.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle of approximately 6 inches in diameter, ensuring even thickness.
Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle on medium heat.
Place the rolled roti on the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until you see brown spots and the roti is cooked through.
Optionally, you can press gently with a clean cloth or spatula to puff up the roti.
Remove from heat and repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm with a side of vegetables, yogurt, or your favorite curry.
