Tawa Roti

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 400g of whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add 240ml of water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously to form a soft dough.

3. 3

   Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.

6. 6

   Preheat a tawa or flat skillet over medium-high heat.

7. 7

   Roll each dough ball into a thin, round disc using a rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

8. 8

   Place the rolled-out roti onto the hot tawa.

9. 9

   Cook for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the roti.

10. 10

    Cook the other side for another 30 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

11. 11

    Flip the roti again and cook for a few more seconds until it puffs up and has golden brown spots.

12. 12

    Remove from the tawa and keep warm in a cloth-lined container.

    Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

    Serve the tawa roti warm with your favorite curry or side dish.
