Vegan Roti

Vegan Roti is a traditional Indian flatbread made with whole wheat flour, perfect for scooping up curries or enjoying with vegetables. This simple yet delicious recipe offers a wholesome, plant-based option for lunch that is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Water - 120 ml (adjust as needed)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Additional whole wheat flour - for dusting

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
2. Gradually add water and olive oil to the flour mixture, mixing with your hand or a spoon until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
6. Dust a clean surface with flour and flatten one dough ball with your hand. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
7. Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium-high heat.
8. Once hot, place the rolled-out roti on the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until small bubbles form on the surface.
9. Flip the roti and cook for another 30 seconds. Press gently with a spatula to encourage it to puff up.
10. Flip again and cook for an additional 10-15 seconds until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
11. Remove the roti from the skillet and keep it warm in a cloth. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
12. Serve the warm rotis with your favorite vegan curry or vegetable dish.
