Description

This Gluten Free Roti tastes just as good as the original Indian fried bread. Ensure you use a good quality chapati flour.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300g (3 cups) gluten free chapati flour
  • 160ml (2/3 cup) warm water
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) milk
  • 3g (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 60ml (4 tbsp) ghee, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Place the flour in a large bowl.
  2. Add the water in small amounts to the flour in order to bind it. Don’t make the dough too wet. Only use enough water to form a dough. The quantity specified is estimated, use more or less as needed.
  3. Knead the mixture together for about 5 minutes until it sticks together.
  4. Add the milk and salt and knead for another 5 minutes. 
  5. Roll the dough in a ball and cover the dough with a damp cloth or paper towel. Place it somewhere warm for at least 1 hour. 
  6. Split the dough into 8 evenly sized balls and make them as round as you can. 
  7. Roll out into discs but keep them on the thicker side instead of thin because they risk falling apart then. 
  8. Heat a frying pan or tawa on medium-high heat. Make sure the tawa is hot enough then brush off any flour from the surface of the roti dough then place it in the pan. 
  9. Let it cook for 15-30 seconds or until you see some bubbles forming on the top. Flip the roti and brush the topside with melted ghee. 
  10. Once 30 seconds of cooking has elapsed, use a tong to check the bottom side of the roti. If it’s browning, flip it over again and brush this side with ghee too. 
  11. Continue cooking the roti until both sides have browned well, flipping once or twice as needed. 
  12. Remove from the pan and proceed with the next roti until everything is cooked, while keeping the cooked ones warm. 
  13. Serve immediately with your favorite curry. Enjoy!
