Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, mix 1.5 cups chickpea flour, 0.5 cup whole wheat flour, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp coriander powder.

  2. Step 2

    Add 0.5 finely chopped onion and 1 finely chopped green chili to the flour mixture and stir to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually add 0.75 cup water, mixing with your hand to form a soft, pliable dough. Add a little extra water if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Knead the dough for 2 minutes until smooth, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Dust each ball with flour and roll into a 6-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.

  6. Step 6

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each roti for 1-2 minutes per side until golden spots appear and it puffs slightly.

  7. Step 7

    Brush with ghee or butter if desired and serve hot.
