Discover how to make soft and fluffy homemade roti with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for any meal, these flatbreads are a staple in Indian cuisine.
Combine the whole wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the salt.
Gradually add the warm milk while mixing to form a dough.
Adding the liquid slowly helps you control the dough consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading well develops the gluten, which is essential for soft rotis.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Resting allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Keeping the portions equal ensures even cooking.
Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
Rolling evenly prevents uneven cooking.
Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat and cook each roti for about 1 minute on each side.
Ensure the pan is hot before placing the roti to help it puff up.
Brush the cooked rotis with melted butter and serve warm.
Brushing with butter adds flavor and keeps the rotis soft.
