Roti - Flat Indian Bread

This is how I make Rotis.

Ingredients

* 1 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup lukewarm water (Use more if required)
* 1/4th cup whole-wheat flour for rolling
Method

1) Mix flour, salt and water to make a soft dough by adding more water as needed, cover and keep aside for 10 mins or more

2) Make the dough into 8 equal balls, take each ball and press with dry flour and roll it to a 6 inch circle by dusting it with the dry flour whenever you feel it is sticking.

3) Heat a skillset and place the Roti for 30 secs to just make sure it is hard enough to hold and turn it other side and just keep for 10 to 15 secs

4) Take this Roti and cook in flame (use different burner) both the sides until you see brown spots on both sides.

5) Spread butter and keep in a covered container

Notes

> always keep the rotis covered so that they will not become hard
> Rotis can be kept outside by wrapping with aluminium foil upto 2 days and can be refrigerated upto a week and heat in microwave before eating
