Roti
Yield: 12 chapathis
Ingredients
- 2 cups durum wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, water and oil until the mixture pulls away from the sides. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead until smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes.
- Heat an unoiled cast iron skillet or tava to medium high heat.
- Divide dough into 12 equal parts, form into rounds and cover with a damp cloth. Flatten the balls with the palm of your hand, then use a rolling pin to roll out each piece into a 6 to 8 inch diameter round.
- Cook the roti for 1 minute before turning over, then turn again after another minute. The roti should have some darker brown spots when finished.
- Best served warm.
