Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 3 tsp Ghee
- 1/2 tsp Carom Seed carom seeds
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder or chopped garlic
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, ghee, ajwain, and garlic powder.
- Gradually add the water while mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. Kneading helps develop gluten, which gives the roti its structure.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thick circle using a rolling pin.
- Using your fingers or tongs, create a decorative pattern by gently pinching the edges of the roti. This signature design also helps the roti cook evenly.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place a roti on the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear. Reduce the heat to medium if the roti browns too quickly.
- Using a clean kitchen towel, gently press the roti against the pan to ensure it cooks evenly and puffs up slightly.
- Once cooked, brush the roti with ghee and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Serve the warm Garlic Khoba Roti immediately with your favorite curry or dal.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra burst of garlic flavor, rub a clove of fresh garlic over the surface of the hot roti right after cooking, then brush with ghee.
- If you want a softer interior with a crispy exterior, cook the roti partially on a skillet, then finish it directly over an open flame for a smoky aroma and enhanced crunch.
- To make the intricate khoba patterns more pronounced and prevent them from flattening, let the shaped rotis rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking—this helps them hold their design during roasting.
- For a vegan version, substitute desi ghee with cold-pressed mustard oil or a neutral vegetable oil, which will still give a rich flavor without dairy.
Expert Tips
- Use a cast iron skillet for cooking roti as it retains heat well and provides even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking multiple rotis. Give them enough space to puff up properly.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro or other herbs to the dough.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover roti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Reheat on a skillet or in the microwave.
