Tandoori Roti (Butter Roti)

 

Tandoori Roti (Butter Roti) Recipe

Yields: 4-6 rotis

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes per roti

Ingredients:

 * 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)

 * 1 teaspoon salt

 * 1 tablespoon oil

 * Water, as needed

 * Melted butter or ghee, for brushing

Instructions:

 * Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the oil and mix well. Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead until a soft and pliable dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

 * Shape the rotis: Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Dust a rolling surface with flour and roll out each ball into a thin, round circle.

 * Cook the rotis: Heat a tawa (flat griddle) or skillet over medium heat. Place a roti on the hot tawa and cook for a few seconds until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the roti and cook for a few more seconds until lightly browned.

 * Apply butter: Remove the roti from the tawa and immediately brush with melted butter or ghee. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Tips:

 * For softer rotis, add a tablespoon of yogurt to the dough.

 * If you don't have a tawa, you can use a frying pan.

 * To make the rotis puff up, hold the roti close to the flame for a few seconds after flipping it.
