Ingredients:-

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1/4 cup all purpose flour (maida)

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 tablespoon oil

1/4 cup yogurt

About 1/4 cup of water as needed

Also needed:

1/4cup whole-wheat flour for rolling

2 tablespoons ghee (clear butter)

 

How to make tandoori roti:-

·         Mix the flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt together and add the oil and yogurt and mix to make crumbly dough.

·         Add water as needed and mix to make smoother dough. Now, knead the dough for about a minute and set the dough aside and cover it with a damp cloth.

·         Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

·         Heat the oven to 500 degrees with a pizza stone (baking stone) for about thirty minutes so the stone becomes hot. Using a baking/pizza stone will help to give roti close to same kind of heat as tandoor.

·         Next turn the oven to high broil.

·         Divide the dough into four equal parts.

·         Roll each dough piece into a smooth ball and press flat. Take each ball and press it into the dry flour on both sides makes it easy to roll.

·         Roll each dough piece into 6-inch circles.

·         If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust the dough with dry flour.

·         Before putting the rolled dough into the oven, lightly wet your palms and take the rolled dough and flip them between your palms before placing them onto your baking/pizza stone in the oven.

·         You can place about 2 pieces of rolled dough on the baking/pizza stone at a time. The roti will take about 2 minutes to cook, depending upon your oven. After the roti is baked, there should be golden brown color on top.

·         Take roti out of the oven and brush lightly with clear butter (ghee).

·         Wait for 2 to 3 minutes before baking the next roti to allow the oven to reheat.

·         Serve the roti hot with any gravy or yoghurt.
