How to Make Khasta Roti
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
- Add ghee or oil and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add warm water while mixing with your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not add all the water at once, add as needed.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls (approximately 1-inch diameter).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, circular roti using a rolling pin. The thinner you roll, the crispier it will be.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Place a roti on the hot griddle and cook for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until small bubbles appear and it begins to puff up.
- Using tongs, carefully flip the roti and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy.
- Brush both sides of the roti with a little oil while cooking for added crispness.
- Once cooked, remove from the griddle and stack the rotis. Serve hot and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
