Recipe
- Place the atta in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add water to the atta while mixing it with your hand. Keep adding water and kneading until you form a soft, smooth dough. The amount of water needed depends on the moisture content of the flour, so add it slowly to avoid making the dough too wet.
- Once the dough is formed, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minute.
After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Heat a tawa (flat skillet) or griddle over medium-high heat.
- While the tawa is heating, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Dust it with some atta to prevent sticking.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough ball into a thin, round disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Roll from the center outwards, rotating the dough as you go to ensure an even thickness.
- Once the tawa is hot, carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
- Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side until small bubbles start to form.
- Flip the roti over using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. You can press down lightly with the spatula to help it puff up.
- Once both sides are cooked and lightly browned, remove the roti from the tawa and place it on a plate.
- Optionally, you can smear some ghee or butter on top of the roti for added flavor.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls until all the rotis are cooked.
