Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 3 tablespoons Canola oil
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water and skim milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or your hand to form a dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 3
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky during kneading.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Lightly coat each ball with a small amount of canola oil, ensuring they are well-coated but not dripping with oil.
Step 5
Place the dough balls onto a plate, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rest for at least 30 minutes. This rest period will help the dough relax, making it easier to roll thin.
Step 6
Once rested, take a dough ball and flatten it with your palm on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, begin to roll the dough into a thin circle, as thin as possible without tearing.
Step 7
Gently lift the edges and stretch the dough to make it thinner and larger. Aim for a translucent consistency where you can almost see through it.
Step 8
Fold the edges towards the center, creating a square or a round shape, depending on preference. Repeat this process for all the dough balls.
Step 9
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Step 10
Cook each prata individually by placing it on the skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly puffed. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Remove from heat and gently press the edges with a spatula to get those flaky layers.
Step 12
Serve the low-fat roti prata warm with your favorite side dish or dip.
