Step 1
Mix gram flour, onion, cilantro, mint, green chili, cumin, turmeric, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Add water slowly, stirring until a thick, workable dough forms — no lumps, not too wet.
Step 3
Divide dough into 4 equal balls. On an oiled surface, flatten each into a thin disc, ~7 inches across.
Step 4
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Slide one roti onto the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is deep golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip, cook the other side another 2–3 minutes until edges curl slightly and it snaps when bent. Transfer to a plate.
