No Fail Tandoori Roti on Tawa

Ingredients (for 8 rotis)

• Aata (wheat flour) 3 cups
• Salt 1/3 tsp
• Baking powder 1 tsp
• Baking soda 1/4 tsp
• Yogurt 3/4 cup
• Oil 2 tbsp
• Water as needed (less than a cup)

Aata Glue

• Aata 1 tbsp
• Water as needed to make a thin paste

Preparation

1. NOTE: I did not use any measuring cups or spoons for this recipe. Any cup and spoon would do.
2. In a mixing bowl, add aata, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well.
3. Add yogurt and oil and mix roughly.
4. Now start kneading by adding a little water at a time into a soft dough.
5. Once the dough is formed, knead for 7-8 more minutes. This will result in soft rotiform inside but crunchy from outside.
6. Cover and allow to stand for preferably 1.5 hour or at least 1 hour (not less than that).
7. Now shape into 8 balls.
8. Heat a pan or tawa on medium to high heat. Non-stick is also fine.
9. Roll a dough ball into a a little thick roti and apply aata glue with a brush.
10. Now place the roti on tawa (glue side down) and quickly press it on the tawa using your hands.
11. Allow the bubbles to form on the roti. In 1 minute or so, whole roti will have bubbles. Now flip the tawa and cook the roti’s top side on direct flame.
12. Repeat for the other rotis.
13. Enjoy!
