Preparation and Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Add oil or ghee and knead again for a few minutes until the dough is soft and pliable.
- 2
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps in gluten formation, making the roti softer.
- 3
Divide and Roll
After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball). Dust each ball with a little flour and roll it out on a flat surface into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Cook the Roti
Heat a tandoor or a heavy skillet (tawa) over medium-high heat. Place the rolled-out roti on the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 1-2 minutes). Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. If using a tandoor, stick the roti to the walls of the tandoor and cook until it puffs up.
