Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- Extra flour for dusting
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
- Add the vegetable oil to the bowl and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Gradually add the warm water to the bowl, mixing the dough with a spoon or your hands until it becomes soft and smooth. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and roll out each ball into a very thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
- Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat.
- Carefully transfer the rolled-out roti onto the hot tawa.
- Cook the roti for about 20-30 seconds, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the roti over and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds as well.
- Remove the roti from the tawa and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough.
- Fold each roti into quarters and serve them hot with your favorite curry or dish.
