Ingredients
- 2 cups Hathi Brand 100% Whole Wheat Chakki Atta
- ½ teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
- Salt to taste
- Ghee (for kneading and brushing)
- Water (for kneading)
Method
- Combine Hathi Brand Atta, carom seeds, and salt in a large bowl.
- Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a firm dough. Add a teaspoon of ghee while kneading for extra flavor.
- Divide the dough into large portions and roll them into balls.
- Roll out each ball into a thick roti, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Using your fingers, create small indentations (khoba) all over the surface of the roti. This design helps the ghee seep into the bread, making it flavorful.
- Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat and place the roti on it.
- Cook the roti on low heat, ensuring it cooks evenly. Flip the roti and press lightly with a cloth or spatula to help it cook from the inside.
- Once both sides are golden brown, generously brush ghee over the top and serve hot.
