Discover the rustic charm of *Pol Roti Coconut Roti*, a traditional Indian flatbread infused with the rich, tropical essence of fresh grated coconut. This quick and easy recipe brings a unique twist to classic roti, blending all-purpose flour with coconut to create a soft, slightly chewy bread that's perfect for dipping into curries, scooping up chutneys, or enjoying alongside a zesty sambol. Ready in just 25 minutes, this flatbread is crafted with simple pantry staples and features a tender dough that's effortlessly shaped and cooked on a skillet to golden perfection. Whether you're looking for an alternative to naan or exploring flavorful breads with a cultural flair, this coconut roti is a must-try addition to your table.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated coconut, and salt.
Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading as you go, until a soft and pliable dough forms. The dough should not be sticky but hold together well.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface or using your hands, flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using butter or oil, lightly grease the surface.
Place one roti on the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve warm with your favorite curry, chutney, or a side of sambol. Enjoy!
