Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Fresh grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 125 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
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!
