- Whole wheat flour (atta): 2 cups
- All-purpose flour (optional, for softness): 1/4 cup
- Yogurt (dahi): 1/4 cup
- Baking powder: 1/2 tsp
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Oil or ghee: 1 tbsp (plus more for brushing)
- Warm water: as needed (approx. 1/2 cup)
Making process
Step 1: Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add yogurt and oil. Mix well with hands.
- Add warm water gradually and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
- Cover and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the Rotis:
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into balls.
- Dust with dry flour and roll each ball into a medium-thick round roti.
Step 3: Cook the Rotis:
- Preheat a tandoor, oven with baking stone, or a cast-iron tawa on high heat.
- Place roti on hot tawa or stick to the wall of tandoor if using one.
- Cook until bubbles form and flip when golden spots appear. Cook the other side similarly.
- For a smoky effect, use direct flame for 10 seconds per side.
Step 4: Serve:
- Brush hot rotis with ghee or butter.
- Serve hot with dal, sabzi, or curry of choice.
