Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.5 cup Red lentil flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or cooking oil for cooking
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, red lentil flour, salt, and cumin seeds.

Step 2

Add olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly add warm water, little by little, mixing well until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable and not too sticky.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using chopped cilantro, knead it into the dough at this stage.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each into a ball.

Step 7

On a floured surface, take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle of about 6 inches diameter using a rolling pin. Repeat with remaining balls.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled roti on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the roti.

Step 10

Drizzle or brush a small amount of ghee or oil on the flipped side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to evenly cook. Flip again if necessary.

Step 11

Once both sides are golden brown with spots, remove from the skillet and keep warm in a clean towel.

Step 12

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Serve hot with your choice of curry, yogurt, or pickles.
