Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup lentil flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon carom seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, and lentil flour.

Step 2

Add the salt, ground flaxseeds, cumin seeds, and carom seeds (if using) to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Mix all the dry ingredients well until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Gradually add warm water to the dry mixture, stirring with a spoon or your hand until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Drizzle in the olive oil while kneading the dough to help it become smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Once the dough is well-kneaded and soft, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter, dusting lightly with flour if sticky.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Place a rolled-out roti on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface.

Step 11

Flip the roti and cook the other side for another minute, pressing lightly with a spatula until cooked through.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, serving the hot rotis immediately with your choice of side dish or curry.
