Roti
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of water to the flour mixture, kneading the dough until it comes together and is smooth. Add more water if needed.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball of dough into a thin, round disc, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet or tava over medium-high heat. Place a rolled-out roti onto the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the roti and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until brown spots appear on the underside. Press down gently with a spatula to help the roti puff up.
- Brush the cooked roti with ghee or oil, then remove from the skillet and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked roti on top of each other in the towel to keep them warm.
- Serve the roti warm with your favorite curry or dish, and enjoy!
Roti is a popular unleavened flatbread that originated in India and is now enjoyed in various parts of the world. It has a long history, dating back to ancient times, and has been a staple in Indian cuisine for centuries. The dough is typically made from whole wheat flour, water, and salt, and is rolled out into thin rounds before being cooked on a griddle. The result is a soft, chewy bread that pairs perfectly with curries, stews, and other dishes. In India, skilled chefs known as "roti walas" can be found expertly preparing and cooking roti in roadside stalls and restaurants. The best version of this dish can be found in regions like Punjab, where it is a beloved part of the local cuisine. The key to making perfect roti lies in achieving the right balance of ingredients and mastering the technique of rolling and cooking the bread. While traditional roti is made with simple ingredients, there are also variations that incorporate spices, herbs, or even stuffing to add extra flavor. Whether enjoyed plain or with added ingredients, roti remains a beloved and essential part of Indian dining.
