For multigrain roti

To make {span class="bold1"}multigrain roti{/span}, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using approx. 5 tbsp of water.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and keep aside.
Take 1 plastic sheet and lightly grease it with oil.
Flatten 1 portion of the dough on it and cover with another plastic sheet.
Lightly press on the plastic sheet evenly to make a 100 mm. (4”) diameter round.
Lift the {span class="bold1"}multigrain roti{/span} with the plastic sheets, peel off the top plastic sheet and invert the roti on a hot non-stick tava (griddle). Finally peel off the other plastic sheet as well.
Cook, using a little oil, till it is golden brown in colour from both sides.
Repeat with the remaining portions to make 5 more {span class="bold1"}multigrain rotis{/span}.
Serve the {span class="bold1"}multigrain roti{/span} immediately with fresh curds.
