Tammy483 162 Posted June 20, 2012 I would love a recipe. There's a roti restaurant in my area but the food isn't that great. Whole Wheat Flour (Chapati Flour) – 2 cups Salt – 1/2 tsp (optional) Oil – 4 tsp (sun flower is best) Warm Water – 3/4 cup All-purpose flour Chapatti flour – for rolling and dusting Method: 1. In a large mixing bowl, mix Chapati Flour and Salt well. 2. Add Oil and mix until all lumps are gone. 3. Add Warm Water a little at a time to form a medium soft dough ball. Do not overwork the dough. 4. Add few drops of Oil and coat the dough ball. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes. 5. Heat Tawa or skillet on medium heat. 6. Knead the dough once and divide into golf ball size balls. 7. Dip one ball into the All-purpose flour to coat and roll it out into a thin disc. Keep dipping the rotli into the dry flour to prevent it from sticking to the rolling surface. 8. shake or rub off excess flour from the rotli and place it onto the hot tawa. 9. Flip to the other side once you see bubbles appear on the surface. Allow it to cook for 10-15 seconds. 10. Increase the stove heat to High, gently pick the rotli up with tongs, remove the tawa off of the flame, flip the roti over and place onto an open flame. 11. The rotli should balloon up. Flip it over and cook on the other side. 12. Place the cooked rotli into an insulated container and smear it with Ghee or clarified butter and repeat the process for the remaining dough. You can skip the ghee or clarified butter completely for a healthier roti. Or just use a small bit. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tammy483 162 Posted June 20, 2012 Oh and you can store the dough in the fridge overnight. And if you want to store it longer it goes into the freezer for up to two weeks. Healthier is to make small fresh portions everyday. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinerWoman 90 Posted June 20, 2012 It's a flat bread' date=' wheat dough kneaded with Water and salt, and then cooked on a pan. 5-6 inches in diameter. You can google it, it's called a ROTI. Plus curry made out of black eyes peas, garlic and onions.. Very easy to make and tastes good. I could eat half of the Roti and about 3 teaspoons of the curry. I was told I could eat anything, as long as I stuck to healthy food, even rice, but just a tablespoon. He also told me a could occasionally drink a glass of red wine. I'm not asked to do Protein supplements. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk[/quote'] I love Indian food it's my favorite Gay Lords in Chicago is the best!
