1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2
Shape the Roti
After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball). Dust a flat surface with flour and roll each ball into a flat disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
3
Cook the Roti
Heat a tawa or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each rolled roti for about 1-2 minutes on each side until it puffs up and has golden brown spots. Add a little butter on top while cooking if desired.
4
Serve
Once cooked, stack the rotis in a container and brush with more melted butter before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite curry or side dish.
