Missi Roti
Besan in the dough makes it richer and more filling than a plain roti.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups atta
- 1 cup besan
- 1 onion, very finely chopped
- 2 green chillies
- 1 tsp ajwain
- 1 tsp kasuri methi
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- Coriander
- Ghee
Method
- Mix both flours with onion, chillies, ajwain, crushed kasuri methi, spices, salt and 2 tbsp ghee.
- Add water slowly. Besan absorbs less than atta, so the dough comes together faster than you expect.
- Rest 20 minutes covered — this is what stops it cracking at the edges when rolled.
- Roll thicker than a roti, about 3mm.
- Hot tawa, cook both sides, then ghee and press with a cloth till brown spots appear.
- White butter, curd, pickle.
