Ingredients

• 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
• 1 small (finely chopped) Green chili
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons (for cooking) Ghee or butter
• 0.5 cup (approximately, for kneading) Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gram flour, whole wheat flour, finely chopped onion, green chili, and coriander leaves.

Step 2

Add carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and herbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft and pliable dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a flat, round disc about 6 inches in diameter. Use additional flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled-out roti on the hot tawa.

Step 7

Cook the roti for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles begin to form. Flip it to the other side and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 8

Apply a small amount of ghee or butter on both sides of the roti while cooking. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and slight charring.

Step 9

Remove the cooked Missi Roti from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite curry, yogurt, or pickle.
