Ingredients
- 200 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams green gram (moong daal), boiled and mashed
- 50 grams chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams red lentils (masoor daal), boiled and mashed
- 120 ml water
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 tsp cumin seeds
- 0.25 tsp turmeric powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, mashed green gram, and red lentils.
Step 2
Add salt, carom seeds, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder to the flour mixture and mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading continuously, to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust water quantity if needed to achieve the right consistency.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes to help it become more flexible and easier to roll.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle of approximately 6 inches in diameter, ensuring even thickness.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle on medium heat.
Step 8
Place the rolled roti on the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 9
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until you see brown spots and the roti is cooked through.
Step 10
Optionally, you can press gently with a clean cloth or spatula to puff up the roti.
Step 11
Remove from heat and repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Step 12
Serve warm with a side of vegetables, yogurt, or your favorite curry.
