Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup Water
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Ghee
• 2 tablespoons Extra ghee for cooking

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually add water while mixing, until the dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

Step 4

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

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.

Step 6

Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and roll each dough ball into a flat circle of about 7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Place one rolled roti on the hot skillet and cook for about 1 minute until bubbles start to appear on the surface.

Step 9

Flip the roti over using tongs and cook the other side, using a little ghee on the top side.

Step 10

Press gently with a spatula to help the roti cook evenly and puff up.

Step 11

Once both sides have golden brown spots, remove the roti from the skillet.

Step 12

Immediately brush a thin layer of ghee over the surface of the hot roti.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 14

Serve the ghee roti hot with your favorite curry or dal.
