GOTHUMAI / WHEAT ROTI I HEALTHY TIFFIN RECIPES

The gothumai/wheat flour roti is very easy to prepare and it tastes so good with the flavour of shallots. Shallots have anti-oxidants and it's very nutritious, and I love shallots more than onions, so I have added a little more.

Water – To required

METHOD

• Take a wide bowl add all ingredients except water.
• Mix it well with hands and add water little by little and knead into a smooth dough.

• The dough should not be very hard, else after cook it will become harder.
• Divide the dough into medium equal balls.
• Heat dosa tawa on medium-high flame.

• Take a plastic sheet and keep it in the sheet, wet your hand and press into a circle or cover with other plastic sheet and press into a circle.
• Now gently remove the roll from the sheet and put it on tawa.

• Sprinkle drops of oil and cook it on both sides.
• Serve it hot…

NOTE

• You can add chopped green chilies instead of peppercorns.
• Add the coriander and mint leaves to get flavorful roti.
• You can add onions instead of shallots, but I recommend trying with shallots which taste better than an onion.
