Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp Fenugreek Leaf dried
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tbsp Anise Seeds
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
Wet Ingredients
- Water as needed, to achieve a soft dough consistency
For Cooking and Serving
- 2-3 tbsp Butter for greasing and cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Mix gram flour, oil, kasuri methi, salt, red chili powder, anise seeds, and carom seeds in a large bowl.
- Gradually add water while mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Roll and Cook the Roti
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about lemon-sized).
- Roll each ball into a thin, circular roti using a rolling pin.
Cooking on the Tawa
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa and cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until small bubbles start to appear.
Direct Flame Cooking
- Carefully move the roti directly over a low flame for a few seconds on each side, to create a slightly charred and puffed texture (optional, for a crispier roti).
Serve
- Spread butter or ghee over the cooked roti.
- Serve hot with your favorite curry or dal.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Missi Roti
- For a softer roti, add a little more water to the dough. For a crispier roti, use slightly less water.
- Don't over-knead the dough, as this can make the roti tough.
- If the dough feels sticky, dust your hands with a little flour while rolling.
- Use a preheated tawa for even cooking. If the tawa is too hot, the roti will burn quickly.
