Ingredients

  • 🌾2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 💧¾ cup water
  • 🧂1 tsp salt
  • 🧈4 tsp ghee
  • 🍯4 tbsp jaggery, grated or powdered

Pro tips

  • Adjust water quantity slightly as flour absorption varies.
  • Do not overcook the roti, as it can become hard.
  • Ghee and jaggery quantities can be adjusted to personal preference.

Method

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. 2Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
  3. 3Dust a rolling surface with flour and roll each ball into a thin, 6-7 inch diameter disc.
  4. 4Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Place a roti on the hot tawa.
  5. 5Cook for about 30 seconds until small bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another minute until light brown spots form.
  6. 6Flip again and gently press with a clean cloth or spatula until the roti puffs up. Cook for a few more seconds.
  7. 7Remove the cooked roti from the tawa. While still hot, spread 1 tsp of ghee over one side and sprinkle 1 tbsp of grated jaggery.
  8. 8Fold the roti in half or roll it up and serve immediately.
