Method

  1. 1

    Combine the atta and salt in a wide bowl. Make a well in the centre.

  2. 2

    Add the water a little at a time, mixing with your fingers until the flour comes together.

  3. 3

    Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and soft but not sticky. Knead in the oil or ghee, if using.

  4. 4

    Cover and rest the dough at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Heat a tawa over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 8 balls.

  6. 6

    Dust one ball lightly and roll it into a thin, even round about 15 cm across.

  7. 7

    Cook on the tawa for 20–30 seconds until small bubbles appear, then turn. Cook the second side for about 30 seconds.

  8. 8

    Turn once more and press the edges gently with a clean cloth until the roti puffs and has browned spots.

Kitchen notes

  • Atta absorbs water differently across batches and weather, so add it gradually.
  • Keep the dough and finished rotis covered to stop them drying out.
