Roti- basic Indian bread. This is the staple food all over North India and many South Asian countries. Unlike the chapathi these rotis contain less oil and sometimes no oil. So these are even more healthier than the chapathi or rice. Replace you rice in the meal with 3-4 roti and for sure it is a best diet to reduce weight. Here I give a simple recipe for soft rotis.
INGREDIENTS
- Wheat flour 2 cups
- Oil 2 Tsp.
- Salt to taste
- Water to make the dough
Add oil into the wheat flour and mix well. Now add warm water little by little and make a soft dough.
Rest the dough for 5-6 hours.
Resting time plays and important role in getting soft rotis
Just before making the roti knead the dough for a couple of minutes.
Take a lemon sized dough and roll it into a thin disc.
Now heat the tawa to medium hot. Place the roti on the tawa and let cook for few seconds.
Flip onto the next side and again cook for another few seconds.
Now gently press the roti all over with a flat spatula. While pressing you will see the roti puffing up.
Flip the second side and again follow the same procedure.
Smear some oil or butter on the hot roti and serve hot with any curry.
TIPS
- Resting time of the dough should be more to get soft roti.
- I generally refrigerate the dough over night and this way I get very soft rotis.
- Make a large amount of dough , smear oil all over it and refrigerate it in a air tight container. You can use the dough for 2-3 days.
