Roti Bread

This is a very basic recipe for the famous Indian bread, 'ROTI'.

You can mix flavorings (savoury) in the flour and suit your taste.

Notice there is no sugar, yeast or butter. It is very healthy and can be used for a roll-up meal.

  • All purpose or wholemeal flour
  •   500 gm
  • salt
  •   a pinch
  • Water
  •   2 cups or so
  1. Mix flour and salt nicely.
  2. Add water, little by little and form in to a semi soft dough.
  3. Keep aside for 15 minutes for leavening, cover the dough with a moist cloth.
  4. Knead a little more(2 minutes)
  5. Make egg-sized balls.
  6. Flatten and roll on dry flour with a rolling pin; it should be 4-5 mm thick and round in shape.
  7. Cook in a pan or griddle until a little brown on both sides.(Keep turning)

Enjoy hot with curries or gravies, make roll-ups with meat, cheese and other sandwich fillings.
