Ingredients:

• 1 cups- Whole wheat flour (atta)

• ¼ cup - all purpose flour

• 2 tbsp - curd

• Water - as needed

• ½ tsp- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon

• 2 tbsp- Oil or ghee

• 2 tbsp- Butter (optional): For brushing the roti

• ¼ tsp - baking powder

• 2 pinch - baking soda

Instructions/ Recipe:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt.

• Gradually add water to the flour while kneading it into a soft and smooth dough. The amount of water required may vary, so add it slowly until you achieve the right consistency.

• Once the dough is formed, add 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee to it. Continue kneading for a few more minutes to incorporate the oil/ghee evenly into the dough. This step helps to make the roti softer.

• Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. Resting the dough improves its texture and makes it easier to roll out.

• After resting, divide the dough into small equal-sized balls. Dust a rolling board and rolling pin with some flour.

• Apply some water on the upper side.

• Heat a tawa (flat griddle) or a non-stick pan on the stove over medium-high heat.

• Once the tawa is hot, place the rolled roti with water side on it. Cook the roti until you see small bubbles forming on the surface. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

• Flip the tawa on low flame 🔥 and roast the roti from the bubble side.

• Now, remove the roti from the tawa and place it directly over a low to medium flame (gas stove) to give it a tandoor-like charred effect. You can use a pair of tongs to handle the roti safely.

• Alternatively, you can use a preheated oven set to the highest temperature with the broiler on and cook the roti on a hot baking sheet for a minute or two.

• Once the roti has a nice charred appearance, remove it from the flame or oven. Optionally, brush it with some butter for added flavor and softness.

• Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls to make more tandoori rotis.

• Tandoori rotis are best enjoyed hot and can be served with various Indian dishes like curries, lentils, or kebabs. They also go well with chutneys, pickles, and yogurt-based dips.

• Enjoy your homemade tandoori rotis!
