This is the most basic and day to day recipe for almost everyone in India. We do not have lunch or dinner without this. It feels incomplete if we have to eat without this.
A very healthy version of what people eat in US which is generally made of all purpose flour. We can make this with our choice of flour, be it whole wheat or multi-grain(consistency and texture differs from flour to flour).
Anyways, this is one thing which almost everyone struggles with in the beginning. There are hundreds of things to take care of in making this. It looks simple but believe me, it is not :(. Atleast was not simple for me.
Here, I am going to give couple of tips on how to make perfectly symmetrical, round shaped rotis.
Ingredients:
Roti/Chapatti dough - Roti/Chappti Dough Recipe
1 cup of whole wheat flour (helps in rolling)
Recipe:
Get a roller pin. I usually roll roti on my counter, but you can use, what we call in india as CHAKKLA (rolling board).
Take out small piece of dough and roll it in sphere shape. Once done, flatten it and cover it in whole wheat flour.
Put it on your counter and start rolling.
Tip 1: roll it half way and you will feel need for whole wheat flour as it will start sticking. Cover it in whole wheat flour again.
Tip 2: Roll only on side and not at center. This way it will be of perfect thickness all round and not very thin at center. (this tip is given by a friend )
Once you achieved 1 mm thickness, place it on heated pan.
Flip it soon enough so that there are only 1or 2 light brown spots on one side.
Once on other side, after 5 seconds put it directly over stove flame and see the magic of puffed up roti's.
Cook as per your liking and serve hot with clarified ghee or butter.
