Roti



Cut
Roti
 Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup of warm water
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tbs of corn oil (any oil)

Method:

Roll
Mix and knead all ingredients in a bowl. Roll the dough out on a flat surface to form a 1" tubular shaped lump. Cut this up with a butter knife into 1/2 " discs, roll between your palms and set aside. With a rolling pin, roll each disc into flat 6"-8" diameter roti's. Sprinkle a till dry wheat flour while using the rolling pin to help prevent the dough from sticking. Roll out all the dough discs and place them on a plate. Ensure they do not stick to each other( can sprinkle a liitle flour, or use wax paper to keep them separate). Make about 8 to 10 roti's.

Cook

Heat tava well on medium heat. Place each roti on the heated tava and cook both sides by flipping with a flat spatula. Add few drops of oil for each side. Keep flipping sides till roti is cooked. Roti will be brown here and there when done.
