Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
2
Gradually add the water, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes to make it easier to shape.
4
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, then shape each portion into a ball.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, circular disc (approximately 2 mm thick).
6
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, then place the first roti dough onto it.
7
Cook for 30 seconds, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds, or until brown spots appear.
8
Flip again and gently press down with a spatula to help the roti puff up.
9
Remove from the skillet and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining rotis.
10
Serve immediately with curry, dhal, or your favorite dipping sauce.
