Step by Step Recipe
Take Multigrain atta in a bowl.
Add water and knead to make a soft dough. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth.
Cover the dough and keep it aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Make small lemon sized balls from the dough.
Heat a griddle. Dust and roll the dough balls with a very gentle hand to make a 5-6 inch circle. The roti should be thinner from the sides than the center.
Transfer the roti on the hot griddle.
Once very light brown spots appear on the lower surface, flip the roti.
Cook until brown spots appear on the other sides as well. Hold the roti with a tong and fluff it over the direct flame. Smear ghee on top and serve hot.

I used Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains and the multigrain roti was so delicious and soft.

Aashirvaad atta contains soya flour which is not healthy. This recipe is easy and way better and contains no soy at all.
