Spicy Indian Roti Recipe

Getting started with the Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups wheat flour
• 1/2 cups gram flour
• 1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tbsp oil
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 turmeric powder
• 2-3 pinches asafoetida
• 1/2 tsp each cumin / oregano seeds
• Finely chopped coriander
• 1 tbsp water

The Actual Cooking

Knead a slightly stiff dough, adding all above ingredients, cover with wet cloth. Break off bits and make small potato sized balls. Roll to 3-4 mm thickness. Roast on griddle (tawa) as for phulka. Or after brown spots appear place direct on gas flame and puff, with help of tongs. Phulka also may be done similarly if puffing with cloth, feels difficult. Apply ghee or butter and serve hot with sweetened mango preserve (chunda) or curds or jam.
