Step 1
Mix besan, all-purpose flour, cumin, carom seeds, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Add water a bit at a time, kneading until you have a soft dough like pizza dough.
Step 3
Divide dough into 4 balls. Flatten each between plastic or parchment into a thin round.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Fry rotis one at a time, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden-brown and crispy edges appear.
Step 6
Thinly slice red onion, mince serrano, and chop mint. Toss onion, serrano, mint, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt to taste in a small bowl.
Step 7
Serve warm roti with spiced onions on the side, mint chutney (or mint-lemon mixture), and lemon wedges.
