Indian Roti

Ingredients

• •1 teaspoon Salt
• •0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• •2 tablespoons Olive oil
• •3 cloves Garlic
• •1 medium Onion

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix whole wheat flour with salt. Gradually add water, kneading for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

   💡 Mise en place.

2. 2

   Cover dough and let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

   💡 Properly heated oil prevents sticking and ensures good browning - the shimmer indicates the right temperature.

3. 3

   Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball.

   💡 Rolling technique matters more than pressure. Gentle, even pressure creates layered flatbread, not a dense cracker.

4. 4

   On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin 6-inch circle.

   💡 Simmer for flavor.

5. 5

   Heat a tawa or dry skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

   💡 Fresh herbs brighten.

6. 6

   Cook roti for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and bottom has light brown spots.

   💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
