Instructions

For the dough

  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix nicely with your finger tips.

  • Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and keep aside for ½ an hour.

For the topping

  • Dry roast coriander seeds and cumin seeds until slightly browned.
  • Crush them in a mortar and pestle to make coarse powder.
  • Mix this powder with onion and fresh coriander.

Assembly

  • Heat a griddle until it is very hot. 
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
  • Make a smooth ball from each part.
  • Press the dough ball into the topping mixture.
  • Keep the topping side down and dust and roll the dough ball to a 4 inch disc.
  • Apply water on the top of the roti.
  • Transfer the roti with the water side down on the griddle.
  • Turn the griddle upside down and coo the roti on direct flame until brown spots appear. Keep moving the roti to roast it from all over.
  • Turn the griddle and cook the roti for another minute.
  • Apply ghee on top and remove it from the griddle.
  • Make all the roties in the same manner.
  • Serve hot with any curry or dal fry.

Notes

These roties are slightly dry and slathering them ghee or butter makes them soft and easy to chew.
