Roti

Jump to Recipe

Roti is an unleavened Indian bread that is traditionally eaten with lunch and dinner. Roti is made with just 2 ingredients, atta and water!

WHAT IS ATTA, AND WHERE CAN I BUY IT?

Atta is stone-ground wholemeal wheat flour. Atta can be purchased at Indian grocery stores or from the Asian food aisle at your local supermarket.

Add flour to a small bowl.

Gradually add in water until a dough forms.

Knead until smooth.

Lightly grease and place in a airtight container. Heat a cast iron pan over high-heat until smoking, and then reduce to low heat.

Roll into a small ball, slightly smaller than a golf ball.

Coat in flour and roll. Repeat until a rolled into a 6-inch circle.

Place on the hot pan.

Flip over once the roti darkens in colour.

Flip again once bubbly.

Next, press roti firmly until inflates with air.

Cook until browned on bottom and lightly coat with ghee or oil.

Enjoy!
