A popular Indian bread made using flour, cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), resulting in a slightly charred & deliciously chewy flatbread.
Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup
Cold Pressed Olive Oil
0.125 tbsp
Salt
0.5 tsp
Water
0.5 cup
Butter, Salted
1 Tbsp
Prep
In a large bowl, mix salt and atta (whole wheat flour).
Add water, oil and knead a soft dough, cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Make small balls of dough and flatten a dough ball on a dusted rolling board.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a little to medium-sized circle.
Cooking
After rolling the dough ball to an even circle, spread water evenly all over the roti using a pastry brush or your hands and place it on a hot iron-cast tawa, water-side down.
Set the heat to medium-low or medium-high when you notice large air pockets on it, cook for one minute.
Carefully hold the tawa upside down on the flame and rotate it for even roasting.
Brush some butter or ghee on the cooked tandoori roti before serving.
