Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 teaspoons low-fat ghee
- 0.25 cup flour for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add water while kneading to form a soft and pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry.
Step 3
Once the dough is well mixed, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and form them into smooth balls.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly.
Step 6
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Place the rolled roti onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
Step 9
Flip the roti and apply a small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) of low-fat ghee on the cooked side. Use a spoon to spread it evenly.
Step 10
Press gently with a spatula and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes until light brown spots appear.
Step 11
Flip again, apply another 1/4 teaspoon of low-fat ghee on the surface, and press gently until both sides have evenly browned spots.
Step 12
Remove the roti from the skillet and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
Step 13
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, remembering to regulate the heat to avoid burning.
Step 14
Serve the low-fat ghee rotis warm with your choice of curry or side dish.
