Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup Atta flour or white whole wheat flour, 5oz/142g
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 5-7 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup butter melted, or ghee, 2oz/57g

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.
