 Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
  • Besan - 1 cup
  • Wheat Bran - 1 cup
  • Hing - 1 pinch
  • Ajwain - 1tsp
  • Onion - 1/3 cup (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • In a mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, besan, wheat bran, Ajwain, hing, and salt.
  • Add finely chopped onion and green chilies to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Gradually add water to the mixture, adjusting until the dough reaches a smooth and soft consistency. Knead the dough thoroughly. 
  • Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes, then divide it into medium-sized balls.
  • On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter, ensuring medium thickness. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking. 
  • Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa.
  • Cook the roti until the base is partially cooked, then flip it over.
  • Once the second side is cooked and brown spots appear, flip the roti again.
  • Press the edges of the roti with a spatula to ensure even cooking on the sides.
  • Flip the roti once or twice more until it is evenly cooked.
  • Serve the missi roti immediately or keep them warm in a casserole until ready to serve.
