1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
sugar
1

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.
