Roomali Roti
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
50 gms. plain flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted ghee or butter
Method
Sift flours, salt together. Rub in ghee till flour is crumbly. Add water, knead into soft, liable dough.
Cover and keep aside for 45 minutes. Knead again till smooth, divide into six parts. Shape into rounds.
Roll as thin as possible using dry flour for dusting. Place one on back of palm. With circular movement in one direction, flip and rotate roti.
This procedure will make the roti very thin. Invert deep tawa or heavy cast iron pan, and heat over gas.
When hot, spread roti over inverted griddle and allow to cook. Tiny black spots will appear on it when done.
This roti cooks very quick. Approx. 45- 50 seconds each. Fold like a handkerchief (roomal) before serving.
