Multigrain Roti Recipe













Ingredients:-
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup millet flour (ragi flour, jowar flour or bajra flour (can use mixed))
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. oil
¾ cup hot water
Additional hot water as needed

How to make multigrain roti:-

  • Powder oats finely in a blender.
  • Add the powder to ¾ cup of hot water and stir well to break lumps. Keep this aside for 5 minutes
  • Add whole wheat and millet flours to the same bowl and mix with hot water. Knead till it becomes a soft, pliable and sticky dough.
  • Pour oil and repeat kneading.
  • Smear more oil over the dough. Cover it in a moist cloth. Keep aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough to 8 to 10 equal sized balls and knead them again, roll to smooth balls, put them back to the moist cloth and cover.
  • Sprinkle wheat flour lightly on the rolling area. Lightly roll each ball to a roti. If needed sprinkle flour. Do not make them very floury.
  • Heat a griddle. Add water to a bowl and roll a cloth to a ball and dunk it in the bowl.
  • Prepare a small bowl half filled with water and roll a clean cloth to a ball and dunk it in the water.
  • Transfers the roti with floury side facing towards you, with the damp cloth apply water to the roti including the edges. Do not pour the water.
  • Flip it to the other side and repeat the dampening on the other side too. Flip to the moist side; press the roti gently to puff it.
  • Transfer to a plate or insulated casserole. Cover to retain the softness.
  • Enjoy this healthy roti with your favorite curry.
