Ingredients
- Red Rice Flour - 2 cups
- Onions - 1 cup, finely chopped
- Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Cumin Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Kasoori Methi - 1 tsp, crushed
- Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
- Salt - as per taste
- Warm water - to mix the dough
Directions
-
Mix all dry ingredients first.
-
Add warm water little by little and make into a smooth dough. It won’t be as smooth as regular wheat flour dough, but it will form into a nice ball.
-
Grease a thick magazine cover (you know those shiny ones, which can withstand heat and are not as thin as paper). You can use thick plastic as well, but there is always a chance to burn it when placing it on griddle.
-
Pinch an orange sized ball from the dough and place it on the plastic sheet and spread it into a roti shape with your hands. Grease your fingers as well. It will be easy to do the job.
-
Heat the griddle (not too hot) and slowly invert the paper with roti and slowly separate the roti from the paper.
-
Add little oil and cook on both sides till you start seeing brown spots.
-
Make all the dough in this way. I could make 4 big rotis from these ingredients listed above.
-
Serving
-
Serve them warm with a dollop of butter and my green chili pickle and gongura chutney.
