Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup besan (gram flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain seeds (carom seeds)
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 cup water (or as needed)
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, add the besan, salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, ajwain seeds, and cumin seeds. Mix well.
- Add oil to the flour mixture and mix well with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add water to the mixture and knead into a soft and smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized balls. Dust each ball with flour and roll out into a thin circle.
- Heat a griddle or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out dough circle onto the griddle and cook for 30 seconds.
- Flip the roti and cook for another 30 seconds. Then, drizzle a few drops of oil on the top of the roti and spread it around with a spatula.
- Flip the roti again and cook for 15-20 seconds. Then, drizzle a few more drops of oil on the top of the roti and spread it around with a spatula.
- Flip the roti again and cook for another 15-20 seconds, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the roti from the griddle and place it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve the besan ki roti hot with your favorite curry or chutney. Enjoy!
