Rotis (Dough Recipe)


This is taken from Camellia Panjabi's "50 Great Curries of India" in which she writes:

The dough for most rotis is fairly standard, as follows:

Dough Mixture

Method

  1. Mix the flour and water together to make a dough, by hand or in a food-processor
  2. Then add the ghee or oil
  3. Knead by hand for at least 5, preferably 8, minutes as this process will make the dough slightly elastic, and the rotis will have a softer texture.
  4. For best results, cover with a damp cloth and leave for 1 hour.

With this mixture you can make 12 light chapattis or pooris or 6 parathas. These should be enough for 3 persons.
