Ingredients:

  • 1\2 kg. basin (gram flour)
  • 1\2 kg. whole-wheat flour
  • 2 cups oil
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2-3 tsp. chili powder, or according to taste
  • 6 whole red chili
  • 1\2 cup coriander leaves, chopped
  • 4 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp.dried pomegranate seeds, coarsely ground (optional)
  • 2 tsp. whole cumin
  • 2 tbsp. coriander seeds
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • ghee for frying

Preparation:

  1. Put all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Make a slight well
    in the centre and add oil. Using finger tips, mix it into the flour.
  2. Add water a little at a time and knead into a soft pliable dough. Knead
    it thoroughly for several minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and
    leave to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each into a smooth ball. Then
    roll each ball into a round of about 6 inches.
  4. Heat up a tava, heavy frying pan or a griddle. Test the heat by
    sprinkling a little dry flour on the surface. The temperature is correct
    when the flour burns immediately. Wipe out the surface with kitchen paper.
  5. Carefully place the round of dough on hot tava. Allow to cook for a
    minute then turn it over. Smaer a little ghee on the top and then turn it
    over after a minute. The top side now will have small brown spots. Smear a
    little ghee on the top and on the surface of tava along the edges of roti.
    Turn it over again and repeat the process of smearing oil until the both
    sides are cooked and crisp.
  6. Remove from pan, smear with ghee and serve at once. Repeat with
    remaining dough.
