Roti

A ubiquitous staple in India. Making roti is an art and a science. Once you get the hang of it, you can make them in a jiffy.

• Ingredients:

• 2½ cups Golden Temple^® Whole Wheat Atta Flour + extra for dusting
• 1 cup water

• Method:

• 1 Slowly combine flour with water in a large mixing bowl.  Knead for 8-10 minutes to form soft dough. Cover with damp cloth and set aside 5 minutes.
• 2 Place dough on lightly floured work station. Knead for 1-2 minutes to smooth dough. Divide dough into 15 parts.
• 3 Heat a heavy bottom tava, griddle or skillet on medium high temperature.
• 4 Dust rolling board lightly with flour. Use rolling pin to roll dough ball into thin circle about 3½” (8-9 cm) wide. Lightly dust dough while rolling to prevent sticking.
• 5 Place rolled dough on tava/hot skillet. Cook for about 15-18 seconds or until it starts to change colour and small bubbles break the surface. Use tongs to flip. Cook other side for 12-15 seconds. Flip. Use muslin cloth to apply gentle pressure on the edges while moving roti in circular motion until it puffs, 12-15 seconds. Flip and repeat on other side, 5-8 minutes.
• 6 Remove from heat. Wrap rotis in a clean dry cloth. Place in a wide air tight container.
• 7 Serve with choice of curry, dry sabzi or dal.
