Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Multigrain Flour
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk you may need slightly more or less depending on the flour
- 2-3 tbsp Water add as needed to achieve desired dough consistency
- 2 tbsp Ghee for kneading and greasing
- 1/2 cup Multigrain Flour for dusting
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.
