Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter or ghee (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, salt, baking powder, and ground cumin. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the yogurt is evenly distributed.

Step 3

Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. You may need slightly more or less water depending on humidity and flour type.

Step 4

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

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each dough ball into a circular or oval shape, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 7

Preheat a tawa (flat griddle) or a skillet over medium-high heat. If you have a tandoor oven, you can also use that to cook the rotis traditionally.

Step 8

Place one rolled-out roti onto the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form, then flip using tongs. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until browned and puffed.

Step 9

Optional: For an authentic tandoori char, directly place the cooked roti over an open flame for a few seconds to lightly char the surface.

Step 10

Remove the roti and brush it with melted butter or ghee if desired. Repeat the process for the remaining portions of dough.

Step 11

Serve the high-protein tandoori rotis warm with your favorite curry, dal, or chutney.
