Ingredients to make plain gram flour roti are 1 cup gram flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 TSP turmeric powder, 1 TSP carom seeds, 1 TSP salt, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and water as needed.
Instructions
- Take a mixing bowl and add all ingredients in it. Combine to form a smooth dough. Use the appropriate amount of water to knead the dough.
- Divide the dough into small balls. Take whole wheat atta in a plate for dusting the roti while rolling it. Dip the prepared dough ball into the dry flour and dust it from all sides.
- Then start rolling the roti using a rolling board and rolling pin.
- Roll the roti thin until you have a circular roti. You will have to dip the roti in dry flour several time while rolling the roti.
- Preheat the nonstick griddle over a medium to low heat. Make sure the nonstick griddle is hot enough before placing the roti on the griddle.
- Place the roti on a griddle and let it cook for 15 to 30 seconds until you see some bubbles on top side. At this point flip the roti. Now, let the other side cook for more than 60 seconds. Use a tong to see how much it has cooked from the second side. If you see brown spots all over, means it has cooked enough.
- Now remove the roti from the tawa with help of tong and place it directly on the flame with the first side. If the roti is rolled evenly will puffed up. Then flip with a tong to cook the other side as well.
- The roti is done when it has brown spots.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
- Optional to apply ghee on the roti.
