How To Make Rumali Roti At Home On A Tawa?

  • In a large bowl, add whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and oil/ghee. Start kneading the dough.
  • Instead of water, add milk. Make sure the milk is warm for a soft dough.
  • It will take a few minutes to knead the dough properly. Cover with a moist cloth and keep the dough aside for 20-30 minutes so that it can rise.
  • Take a small dough ball and dust some flour on it.
  • Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread. Make sure your roll it even and thin.
  • In a separate bowl, add water and salt. Mix.
  • Invert the tawa on a medium flame and when it is hot, spread some salt water on it.
  • Place the roti on the tawa and let it cook. When you see bubbles on the suface of the roti, it is time to flip the side and cook the other side.
  • Scrape out the roti when you see brown spots and place in a plate folded like a handkerchief. Serve with a delicious thick gravy.
