Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon Green cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped dry fruits (almonds, cashews, raisins)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and powdered sugar.
Step 2
Add the ghee to the mixture and rub it into the flour and sugar until a crumbly texture is achieved.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the green cardamom powder and chopped dry fruits. Mix well.
Step 4
Gradually add milk, a little at a time, kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Avoid adding too much milk to keep the dough firm enough to roll.
Step 5
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll each portion into small balls.
Step 7
Flatten each ball using your hands or a rolling pin to form discs about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8
Heat a flat, heavy-bottomed pan or griddle on medium heat and grease it lightly with ghee.
Step 9
Cook each roth on the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown, brushing with a little ghee as needed.
Step 10
Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly before serving. Roth Prasad is best enjoyed warm and can be offered during puja rituals or as a sweet treat.
