Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Freshly grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated coconut, and salt.
Gradually add the water while mixing the ingredients with your hands to form a soft, non-sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a small amount of additional flour.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball with your hands or a rolling pin to form a disc about 1/2 cm thick. Ensure the edges are smooth to prevent cracking during cooking.
Heat a skillet or flat griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.
Place one flattened roti onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown spots appear.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until evenly cooked and slightly crispy.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of curry, sambol, or as a standalone snack.
