Classic Whole Wheat Roti Recipe
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 2 cups (500 ml) whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) jeera (cumin seeds)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- For jeera paratha:
- 6 tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dry wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) red chili powder
Method
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well. Add water as required and knead a dough. Set the dough aside for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Divide the dough and make small balls. Using a rolling pin, roll balls into 4-5 inch (10-12.5 cm) tortillas. Add vegetable oil, flour, and red chili powder. Fold into a half, then add more oil and fold to form a small triangle. Repeat the same steps with the remaining dough and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the triangle paratha and cook, turning once, for a few minutes. Add more vegetable oil and turn again. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
