Ingredients
Instructions
Knead with Intent Mix flour and water gradually until the dough is smooth—no cracks, no stickiness. Cover and rest for 15 minutes; this lets the gluten relax, making rolling easier.
Roll with Confidence Divide the dough into golf-ball-sized portions. Dust with flour and roll into thin, even circles (aim for 6-8 inches). Pro tip: Rotate the dough 90 degrees after each roll to maintain symmetry.
Cook with Precision Heat the tava on medium-high. Place the rolled roti on it; within 30 seconds, bubbles will form. Flip, cook for another 15 seconds, then use tongs to hold it directly over the flame until it puffs up like a balloon—the hallmark of a well-made roti.
Finish with Love Brush with ghee immediately. The heat melts the fat into every pore, turning a basic bread into something transcendent.
