How to make Rotis for Wraps and Rolls

Making it using only whole wheat flour makes the roll healthier to eat. See detailed benefits of whole wheat flour and why it's good for you.
-
Add 1 tbsp of oil to this. This makes the roti soft.
-
Also add the salt to taste. Increase or decrease the quantity of salt to your liking.
-
Slowly add water little by little.
-
Mix it well with your hands. Gather the flour from all sides and if its too floury, you will need more water.
-
Knead it into a soft dough for at least 2 minutes. We have used approximately 1/3 cup of water.
-
Apply a little oil on the surface of the dough so that it doesn’t become dry. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth. You can also use cling film or a plate to cover.
- Keep aside for 15 minutes. Giving rest to the dough improves the texture and the rotis will be softer and fluffier.
-
Divide into 4 equal portions.
-
Take a portion of the dough between your palm, flatten it and place it on a rolling board.
-
Sprinke a little flour on your rolling board and roll out each portion of the dough into a thin circle of 225mm. (9”) diameter.
-
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) on a high flame and place the roti on it. Reduce the flame when it becomes hot enough. You can even check by drizzling a few drops of water on the tava, if it sizzles you are ready to make your roti for wraps and rolls.
-
Cook till small blisters appear on the surface. Turn over the roti and cook for a few more seconds on a medium flame till light brown spots appear. Do not cook this on a slow flame, or else the roti will become too hard.
