Classic Indian Roti Recipe Video
Learn how to make Roti, Indian flat bread which is part of everyday Indian meal. This Roti recipe shows how whole wheat dough is roasted directly on the stove. It is a classic and basic Indian recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
water to make the dough
Directions
Mix the water into the flour a little at a time to form a soft dough.
Take some dough about a golf ball size and roll with the help of flour as dust.
Heat a griddle or tava and put the dough on it. Flip and wait for a minute. Now use tongs to pick it up and put it directly on the flame. It will blow. Flip other side and remove. Add ghee liberally and serve. Omit if watching the fat.
Serve with anything of your choice.

Hi Shakti: I need a wheatfree recipe. Do you make Roti with any different flours? You mentioned chickpea flour for one other recipe, can you make roti with it too?

@George5770: This does work with the flour bought in a regular grocery store. Last time I bought King Arthur brand whole wheat flour at Publix (I live in Miami)and the rotis came out perfectly fine. Now I need not go to the Indian store whenever I run out of flour.

Why isn't this working for you? Answer: Learn from my mistake and save yourself time and trouble. This will not work with most western whole wheat flours, they are too roughly and inconsistently milled. Go to your local Indian grocery and ask for chapati flour, (atta for chapatis) - they will give you the correct flour. Also, let it rest a few minutes before forming the balls.

You make it look easy! Your version is a little different from what my aunt makes, but I'm sure it's just as good. A roti that puffs up like that is a properly made one.
I was wondering if there's a reason why you use that kind of rolling-pin? It looks a little harder to use than the ones that spin.
