In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Add 1 tablespoon of the melted unsalted butter to the flour mixture and mix well using your fingers until the mixture looks crumbly.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture a little at a time, mixing with your hand until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, you may sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with whole wheat flour for rolling out the dough.
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your fingers. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a thin circle about 6 inches in diameter, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.
Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until light brown spots appear and the roti is cooked through.
Brush the cooked roti with a little of the remaining melted unsalted butter.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the low sodium butter roti warm alongside your favorite dishes.
