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
- Place the flour in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Knead the mixture together for about 5 minutes until it sticks together.
- Add the milk and salt and knead for another 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Split the dough into 8 evenly sized balls and make them as round as you can.
- Roll out into discs but keep them on the thicker side instead of thin because they risk falling apart then.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Continue cooking the roti until both sides have browned well, flipping once or twice as needed.
- Remove from the pan and proceed with the next roti until everything is cooked, while keeping the cooked ones warm.
- Serve immediately with your favorite curry. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use as much or as little ghee as needed.
