Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Ghee or melted butter
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 0.25 cups Butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the ghee or melted butter to the flour and mix it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. The dough should be pliable and not sticky.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.

Step 6

Lightly flour a flat surface and roll each ball into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out roti on the pan.

Step 8

Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles begin to appear. Flip it over and cook the other side for another minute.

Step 9

Once both sides have brown spots, remove the roti from the pan and brush it lightly with butter.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve the butter rotis warm with your favorite curry or daal.
