Ingredients

• 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Red lentil flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, and red lentil flour. Use a whisk or fork to ensure they are evenly mixed.

Step 2

Add ground cumin, ground coriander, and black pepper to the flour mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 3

Pour olive oil into the flour mixture and mix until the flour has a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Gradually add water while mixing until the dough starts to come together. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more whole wheat flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Knead the dough gently for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Flatten and roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place a rolled-out roti on the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.

Step 10

Flip the roti over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear. Press down with a spatula for even cooking if needed.

Step 11

Optionally, brush each roti lightly with olive oil after cooking, especially if you prefer a softer texture.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the rotis before serving if desired.
