Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon Green cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped dry fruits (almonds, cashews, raisins)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and powdered sugar.
Add the ghee to the mixture and rub it into the flour and sugar until a crumbly texture is achieved.
Sprinkle in the green cardamom powder and chopped dry fruits. Mix well.
Gradually add milk, a little at a time, kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Avoid adding too much milk to keep the dough firm enough to roll.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll each portion into small balls.
Flatten each ball using your hands or a rolling pin to form discs about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a flat, heavy-bottomed pan or griddle on medium heat and grease it lightly with ghee.
Cook each roth on the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown, brushing with a little ghee as needed.
Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly before serving. Roth Prasad is best enjoyed warm and can be offered during puja rituals or as a sweet treat.
