Instructions
 

Preparing the Dough

  • Combine multigrain flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gradually add milk and water, mixing with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of desi ghee to the dough and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  • Lightly grease the dough with remaining desi ghee. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

Rolling and Cooking the Rotis

  • Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized balls (about lemon-sized).
  • Take one dough ball and roll it into a smooth ball, then lightly dust it with extra multigrain flour.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough ball into a thin, circular roti. Ensure the roti is evenly rolled for even cooking.
  • Heat a flat griddle (tawa) over medium heat.
  • Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa and cook for 30-45 seconds per side, or until small bubbles appear and the roti begins to puff up.
  • Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds.
  • Using tongs, carefully remove the cooked roti from the tawa.
  • Cook remaining rotis following the same process.

Serving

  • Serve hot multigrain rotis with your favorite curry, dal, or chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Rotis

  • Use the right flour: The quality of your multigrain flour significantly impacts the texture of your rotis. Choose a good-quality blend for the best results.
  • Kneading is key: Proper kneading develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in softer, more pliable rotis. Don't rush this step!
  • Resting time matters: Allow the dough to rest for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer rotis.
  • Don't overcrowd the tawa: Cook rotis one or two at a time to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
