Roti for beginners

Make roti (Indian flatbread) in few easy steps :

Ingredients :

1. Wheat flour (atta) - 3 cups
2. Water - 1/2 cup
3. Salt - 2 pinches

Preparation :

1. How to knead the dough ?

Mix 3 cups of flour with 1/2 a cup of water, gradually mix, and knead a dough. If the dough gets sticky, this means it has a lot more water content, add little more flour to it. If the dough is hard, add a little water and knead again.

2. Roll out roti :

Make dough balls (8 rotis approx), round it up smooth in between palms. Dust the surface on which you will roll your chapatis/rotis. Press it flat and using a roll pin stretch it out.

To be a pro you need to practice. Make sure you stretch it on all sides, uniformly, and try to make it round. Don't give up, you are an artist !!

3. Flip the rotis and puff it :

Now, heat an iron tawa. I used my old iron tawa as it heats up soon.

Place the roti, wait for a few secs till you see the roti turning white, flip it and wait for 3-4 secs. Now, flip it on both sides 2 more times.
