Steps to Make Chapati or Roti - Roti Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- Warm water for kneading
- Salt (optional)
- Ghee or oil for brushing (optional)
- In a mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour and salt (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add warm water to the flour while kneading. Start with a little water at a time and mix it in with your fingertips. Continue adding water and kneading until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth, soft, and pliable. The dough should not be sticky or too dry. Adjust the water or flour as needed to achieve the right consistency.
- Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the rotis easier to roll out.
- After resting, divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dip it into dry flour to prevent sticking and place it on a rolling surface.
- Roll out the dough ball into a circular shape, using a rolling pin. Roll from the center outward, rotating the dough as you go to achieve an even thickness.
- The rolled roti should be approximately 6-8 inches in diameter, depending on your preference.
- Heat a tawa or a flat griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. After a few seconds, you will notice small bubbles forming on the surface of the roti.
- Flip the roti and cook the other side. Press gently with a spatula to encourage it to puff up. If using an open flame, carefully hold the roti using tongs and place it directly over the flame, allowing it to puff up. Flip and cook the other side as well.
- Once both sides are cooked and have golden brown spots, remove the roti from the tawa or flame.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions, rolling and cooking one roti at a time.
Note: Rotis are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If you want to make a larger batch, you can keep the dough covered in the refrigerator and roll and cook the rotis as needed.
Enjoy your homemade rotis!
