Instructions
 

Preparing the Dough

  • Combine whole wheat flour and salt in a large bowl. Add yogurt and mix well to form a crumbly mixture.
  • Gradually add water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the yogurt is sufficiently moist, you may not need to add any water. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer rotis.

Shaping and Cooking the Rotis

  • Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized balls.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into an oval-shaped roti, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Roll them slightly thicker than regular phulkas, similar to naan.
  • Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place one roti on the hot griddle and cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until lightly browned.
  • Now, directly place the roti over the flame for a few seconds on each side to puff it up, similar to cooking a phulka.
  • Repeat with the remaining roti balls.

Serving

  • Apply desi ghee or butter to each roti. Serve hot with your favorite curries or as a side dish.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Dahi Wali Rotis

  • For extra soft rotis, use full-fat yogurt.
  • Don't over-knead the dough, as this can result in tough rotis.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on your stovetop's heat; you want the rotis to be cooked through and slightly browned, but not burnt.
