Ingredients
1½ cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup all-purpose flour (maida) (optional for softness)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ cup curd
1 tsp salt
Warm water (for kneading)
Ghee or butter (for brushing)
A tawa (not non-stick!)
Optional: a pair of tongs + open flame
Instructions
Make the Dough
Mix all ingredients and knead a soft, slightly stretchy dough.
Cover and rest it for 30 mins.
Roll It Thick
Divide into balls. Roll each into a thick roti (not paper-thin).
Sprinkle a few coriander leaves or kalonji on top (optional).
Stick It, Flip It
Heat a heavy tawa.
Wet one side of the rolled roti with water. Place the wet side down on the tawa.
Let it stick and puff.
Flip Over the Flame
Once bubbles appear, flip the tawa upside down over an open flame to char the top — just like a tandoor!
Use tongs for extra browning if needed.
Brush ' Serve
Remove and brush with ghee or butter. Serve hot with your favorite curry.
