Making roti, also known as chapati, is a staple skill in many households. Here's a basic recipe and steps for beginners:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- Water (for kneading)
- Salt (optional)
Instructions:
1. *Prepare the Dough:*
- In a mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour. You can add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Slowly add water and knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add water as needed.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
2. *Divide and Roll:*
- After resting, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
- Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Dip it lightly into dry flour.
- Roll out the dough into a thin, round circle using a rolling pin. Keep rotating the dough as you roll to ensure it forms a perfect circle.
3. *Cooking Roti:*
- Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, carefully place the rolled-out roti onto the tawa.
- Cook for about 30 seconds, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface.
- Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
- Now, using a pair of tongs, lift the roti and directly place it over an open flame. This will help it puff up. If you don't have a gas stove, you can skip this step.
- Once the roti puffs up and gets golden brown spots on both sides, remove it from the flame and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
4. *Serve:*
- Serve the hot rotis with your favorite curry, dal, or vegetables.
5. *Enjoy!*
- Practice makes perfect, so don't worry if your first few rotis aren't perfect. With time, you'll get the hang of it!
Remember, making roti is an art, and it may take a few tries to get it right. Enjoy the process and the delicious homemade rotis!
