Description

Ingredients
2 cups wheat flour (atta)
¾ cup warm water (adjust as needed)
½ tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
Mix & Knead: In a large bowl, combine wheat flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and soft.
Rest the Dough: Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide & Roll: Divide dough into 10–12 balls. Roll each ball into a thin, even circle using a rolling pin.
Cook: Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Place a rolled roti on the hot surface. Cook for 30 seconds, flip, cook another 30 seconds, then flip once more and press gently with a spatula — it should puff up.
Serve Warm: Stack in a covered container or wrap in a clean cloth to keep warm and soft.
