Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free oat flour
• 1 cup Sorghum flour (jowar flour)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.75 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Oil (optional, for rolling or cooking)
• 0.25 cup Extra gluten-free flour (oat or sorghum, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, sorghum flour, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

Gradually add the boiling water while stirring the mixture with a spoon or spatula. Be careful to avoid burns as the mixture will be hot.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to come together, allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Then knead it with your hands into a soft, smooth dough. If necessary, add a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 5

Dust a clean surface with a small amount of gluten-free flour. Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin, circular roti using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Carefully place a rolled-out roti onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form.

Step 7

Flip the roti and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 8

Optionally, brush the roti with a small amount of oil or ghee (if your dietary preferences allow) for added flavor and softness.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining rotis. Serve warm with your favorite curry, dip, or side dish.
