Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Salt or as per taste
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1/4 cup Almonds slivered
- 1/4 cup Pistachios slivered
- 1/4 cup Cashews slivered
- 1/4 cup Ghee
- 3 tbsp Sugar
Instructions
- Knead a smooth dough using the first five ingredients. Addition of water or milk depends upon the quality of the flour used. So you might require less or more accordingly.
- Keep it covered for 20 minutes. After the stipulated time, divide the dough into medium sized balls and make rotis as usual.
- Roast on a hot griddle on medium flame using ghee. After done on one side, flip it over and sprinkle sugar on top. Also sprinkle your favourite nuts. Cover and cook for a minute.
- Remove onto a serving plate directly and serve with some more ghee drizzled on top. Stack these rotis in a casserole until ready to serve for a scrumptious breakfast.
Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a more pronounced crunch and flavor, lightly toast the almonds and pistachios before sprinkling them over the hot ghee-slathered roti.
- If you prefer extra sweetness, sprinkle a mixture of jaggery powder and cardamom instead of plain sugar (shakkar) for a richer, aromatic twist typical in Hyderabadi households.
- To ensure the roti remains soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, cook it on medium heat and brush with ghee immediately after flipping, allowing the ghee to soak in without making the roti greasy.
- For an attractive presentation, use a cookie cutter to cut the rotis into fun shapes before cooking—this makes them especially appealing for children and festive occasions.
