Ingredients
- 1 cup (5oz/142g) atta flour or white whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 5-7 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup (2oz/57g) butter or ghee (melted)
Notes
- If you can’t find atta or white whole wheat flour, you can try making this with regular whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, or even all-purpose flour. Each flour will give you slightly different results but will still be delicious.
- When cooking the rotis, you have to move quickly, so they don’t over-brown. You want soft, not crunchy rotis. Adjust your heat to lower or higher, depending on your stove.
- Sometimes the roti will only puff up part of the way or not at all — this is okay. Just continue with the cooking method and once the roti is on the open flame, move it around the flame so it doesn’t burn.
- If the roti doesn’t puff up, it is usually caused by uneven rolling – the rolling is a technique that just takes practice. Don’t give up!
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for a larger crowd.
- For first-time roti makers, this is a nice shared project: one person does the rolling while the other does the cooking.
