Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca flour (starch)
• 0.5 cup Plain unsweetened yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture. Begin mixing and gradually add warm water while kneading. Continue until a soft and pliable dough forms. The dough should not be sticky.

Step 3

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

Step 4

After the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball.

Step 5

Dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll out each ball into a round or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick. You can use gluten-free flour to prevent sticking during the rolling process.

Step 6

Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out roti onto the skillet.

Step 7

Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom has golden-brown spots. Flip the roti and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

For a charred finish, use tongs to hold the roti directly over an open flame (if safe to do so) or broil it in the oven for a few seconds until slightly blistered.

Step 9

Repeat the process for all the remaining portions of dough.

Step 10

Brush the cooked rotis with a little olive oil or ghee (if not vegan) and sprinkle with cumin seeds for a decorative touch, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm with curry, dal, or your favorite Indian dishes.
