Rolling it out… Here comes another entry for MBP March 2007. I found this recipe at Maa Inti Vanta. It was very easy to make and tasted good too. Here is my version.

2. Put the wheat flour in a bowl and add the besan, cumin powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt and knead using curd and water. Set aside for 1/2 hour to one hour.
3. Roll out the rotis and place on a heated tawa.
4. Once slightly roasted spray the fat-free oil spray and turn to the other side. Repeat the process.
5. Serve hot with yogurt or any simple curry.
Kitchen notes:
1. The original recipe calls for ajwain. I did not have it on hand. Do add it if you have it in your pantry. It adds flavor to the rotis.
2. You can use ghee to roast the rotis.

Hi Rajani
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Ugadi wishes. Happy Ugadi to you too. BTW, where did you buy the rice bran oil?
This is great!!!! Very nitritious too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lakshmi. :) The new template also looks good.
Hi Lakshmik
ReplyDeleteYou can get in supermarkets. It has no flavor, so we can actually smell & taste the spices which comes from the curry without the taste of oil.
Its good for frying too as it can withstand high heat when cooking.
Cheers
