Description

These super soft rotis are tender, warm, and incredibly versatile. Perfect for scooping up curry, making wraps, or enjoying on their own.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (add more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or ghee (plus more for brushing)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
  2. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Add oil and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into equal balls and roll each into a thin circle.
  6. Heat a skillet or tava over medium heat.
  7. Cook each roti for about 30 seconds per side until bubbles form and brown spots appear. Press gently with tongs to help puff.
  8. Brush with ghee or oil, stack, and keep covered in a clean towel.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use warm water to help achieve a softer dough.
  • Don’t over-flour while rolling to prevent dryness.
  • Resting the dough is key to soft results.
