Instructions
- Combine flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center and pour in some of the water.
- With your hand, start to mix it all together. Add some more water and combine further. The dough will start to stick and come together.
- Add only as much water as needed. You might need more or less (depends on the flour). The dough should be non-sticky but not dry. It should be elastic, smooth and firm.
- Allow the dough to rest. Cover with some flour and a kitchen towel. Leave to rest for about 15 to 30 minutes. That way your dough will be easier to work with later.
- Knead your dough on a lightly floured surface for a minute or so. Prepare golf ball sized batches. Roll each into a smoot ball with the palm of your hand.
- Lightly flour your working surface and roll out each roti ball. Roll out evenely in a circular motion so that the rotiturns out round. It should be not thinner or thicker than 3 mm (⅛ inch) and roll out evenly.
- Let them rest again for a few minutes or until the pan it hot
- In the meanwhile heat up a tawa grill (flat crepes like pan) and wait for it to be hot.
- Take a roti in your hand and slap it between your palms to get rid of extra flour. Dust it that way or else the extra flour will burn on the pan.
- Place the roti on the hot tawa and dry cook on both sides, each side for about 30 seconds, or until you can see brown spots and it looks cooked.
- If you want it to puff, take the cooked roti and place on an open flame until it puffs up. Be careful not to burn anything when you do this. You might need to practise.
- Serve up hot.

Notes
- As a substitute to Indian whole wheat atta flour use regular whole wheat flour.
- You may use some all-purpose flour too. In that case keep a ratio of 2:1 whole wheat: all-purpose flour. It's easier for beginners to add all-purpose flour.
- See post for tips.
