Tandoori roti - Traditionally tandoori roti is made using tandoor or clay oven. But this recipe is making use of tawa and a roaster grill. The recipe requires only fewer ingredients such as wheat flour,water, salt and oil. The dough is to be kneaded into a tight dough, rolled out and cooked over direct flame. Tandoori roti tastes best when it is hot, becomes slightly dense on cooling.
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - I'm using organic wheat flour. Some recipes make use of wheat flour and maida in the ratio 1:1.
Salt - I'm using fine pink salt. White may also be used.
Water - required for kneading and brushing.
Oil - I'm using cold pressed sunflower oil for kneading and for brushing. Any other neutrally flavoured oil can be used. Ghee or butter can also be used.
Method:
1. Knead the flour, oil, water, salt mixture into a smooth, soft and a tight dough.
2. Allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3. Roll out into slightly thicker rotis.
4. Brush water on one side of the roti.
5. Cook roti on the tawa.
6. Flip the tawa and cook the roti till done.
7. Smear oil or butter and serve with curry.
Accompaniments: Any veg or non-veg masala, kurma, saag goes well. I served it with a saag.
