Soft Roti Recipe
Making chapati soft every time is a little tricky but not that hard. To make perfect soft chapati, we have to give attention to preparing rotis and practice is also required. When it comes to making a soft roti, the process starts from kneading the soft dough or atta. Here atta[wheat flour] should be fresh and finely ground. The process of roasting the roti also matters in achieving perfect softness.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour preferably fresh mill flour
- Oil
- Salt
Instructions
Kneading The Dough:
- Take flour in a wide bowl, add salt and 1 tablespoon oil to it.
- Add water in small portions and mix gently with your hands. Once it binds properly, add 1 tablespoon oil and knead it for a minute.
- Now, give it a rest for 15 -20 minutes. The dough should be soft to make soft chapati or roti.
- After 15-20 minutes, grease your hand with oil and knead it again for a minute. And make medium-sized dough balls to make chapatis.
Rolling The Chapati:
- Now, take a dough ball and roll it in a small round shape. Apply oil on it and fold it from the middle, again apply oil on a top surface and fold it from the middle. It turns into a triangular shape.
- Dust it in dry wheat flour and roll the chapati. For making round chapati, start rolling the sides of a triangular dough ball.
- Now heat the pan. Pan or tawa should be hot enough before roasting chapatis on it. Also if it is very hot chapatis might stick to it.
Roasting Chapati:
- Once the pan is heated properly, transfer the chapati to it. Once small bubbles appear on the surface of the chapati, flip it.
- Roast it from another side and flip it again. Now take a cotton cloth and fold it in a thick layer. With the help of cotton cloth press on all the edges of chapati and roast it. It makes chapati fluffy.
- Transfer the roasted chapati to the airtight casserole. Make all chapatis similarly and store them in an airtight casserole.
- enjoy the hot chapatis with a curry.
