Use wholewheat flour and make the dough semisoft
Add room temperature water as needed to combine the dough
I skip oil or ghee when combining the flour and only use it when kneading the dough
Once the dough is combined, it may be little sticky and at that point use some oil and knead the dough
Use your fingers and palm of your hands to knead the dough till it is soft and smoothe
I put a 5 minute timer for myself to knead the dough and it works every time
Once the dough is ready, cover it with soft cloth or kitchen towel and leave it for 5 - 10 minutes
After 5-10 minutes, check the dough if it is too soft add more flour and too hard then add little water and re knead it for 1-2 minutes
Divide the dough in equal portions and flatten them into small disc
Use dry flour and dip the mini discs into the dry flour on both sides
Using a rolling pin, apply light pressure and start rolling the dough
When you have rolled it 3-4 times or you are halfway into forming complete roti shape, dip it in flour one more time cover both sides and dusting excess flour off
Start rolling the dough using light pressure and slowly moving hand in circular motion with the rolling pin, the sides should be thinner compare to the center
Once it is flat and thin it is ready to be cooked
Turn on a flat iron pan on high heat and have the ghee ready to apply over roti once it is cooked
Once the pan is heated change the heat to medium
Cook the roti on the pan for 10 seconds and let the roti bubble
Once it bubbles then flip on the other side and cook it for little longer until the roti bubbles
Once it bubbles use tongs to hold roti and remove the pan and place the roti directly on the flame till it fluffs up, flip and do the same (this process should take only few seconds on each side)
If you don’t have stove and are using electric or induction, use a soft cotton cloth or paper towel to press the roti on the edges and in middle with light pressure so it fluffs up
Take the roti out of heat and flip it upside down and place it on the pile, slap the roti and flip it again
Apply ghee and continue the same process for remaining roti and make a pile of the rotis
Store the roti in a casserole or a closed lid container to keep them soft
Enjoy the roti with a vegetable or dal
