Adding a little bit of sugar makes a yum treat for kids with a spread of jam or a little marg.
All you will need is:
Cake Flour - 3 cups
Unsalted Butter - 250g (optional Ghee)
Salt - 1 t
Oil - 2 T
Freshly boiled water
Now to make your dough...
You really dont have to sift the flour. Add in your salt, butter and oil to the flour. The butter must be at room temperature.
Mix the ingredients to resemble crumbs. Gradually add the hot water, a little at time and mix as you go.
You want a soft dough that does not stick to your fingers.
When you have the right texture, this is where the kneading comes in. Kneading helps to stretch the dough.
Once that is done you are ready to roll out your rotis.
It isnt as hard as it looks. Make little dough balls, about the size of golfballs, and roll out each dough ball as thinly as you can with your rolling pin on a floured board. Rotis are round in shape, but mapped shaped ones will taste as good.
Once rolled out, they are ready to fry.
Heat up a non stick pan or tawa (disk-shaped griddle), base with a little of the butter and throw on your rolled out roti.
When it puffs up slightly, it's ready to turn. This takes literally a minute on each side.
Before you know it, you made delicious roti ready to eat with curry or basically whatever you have in your fridge.
