Great recipe, however I found the second time making it I tried omitting the oil and it still came out great. I will be making with it just wheat flour and water from now on. To prepare, I used white flour to help prevent sticking. I take small dollops and roll it into a ball, then roll out. If you've never made roti before, it helps to rotate the rolled out dough every couple of rolls to get that perfect circle. Then place the thinly rolled dough onto the pan, 1 minute each. You should see little white circles form. Then I use a metal spatula to throw the roti directly onto the stove flame. The roti should puff out. Once it does, use the spatula or a tong to flip and do the same onto the other side. Once puffed out, remove from flame and place on a plate where it will slowly deflate and flatten out into a perfect and delicious roti, with the characteristic brown spots :)

finally! I have asked my mom for years for measurements and gotten none. now i finally have a starting place! =) i did not use oil or salt. if you add a little oil it softens the dough though and then you can fry it and make puri. mmmm even more delicious but less healthy! =)

I grew up eating these and watching them being made every night in the home of our next door neighbors. They used whole wheat flour and never added any oil. However, they would smear the hot, cast iron pan with butter or margarine just before cooking each roti. We'd tear off pieces and scoop up potato and cauliflower curry, keema, dal, and all kinds of delicious dishes. How lucky is that? Umm um um! What a blessing to have enjoyed such wonderful, authentic food and such great neighbors. America, 'tis fine country!

I've been making these for years, and I don't use oil. I use whole wheat flour. After you mix all the ingredients let it rest covered for 20 min. Divide into balls sprinkle counter with flour. Take care when making balls, turn the edges under and when you roll out don't put any wrinkles in it as it will effect the final outcome in the oven. If there are no wrinkles it will puff right up, if there are wrinkles, they won't puff up. Turn pan onto med high heat and oven at 450 degrees , when the edges start to turn up, flip and do the same to other side. When second side edges have turned up take out of pan and place in oven, turn on the oven light and watch the show. It's incredible, it puffs up into a big ball of air.. 30 seconds later remove from oven and pat down to let the air escape and butter it. These are used to scoop your curry meats and basmati rice. Excellent. The nex day, I like to take a left over Roti and cold curry chicken and sauce over some rice and roll up. So Good.

Great Roti. It tasted just like when I was in India. It also helped that I made a tasty curry to go with it. I used one cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of olive oil. Thanks!

I agree 3/4 cup of water was not quite enough. I have a friend from India and she first taught me. For the life of me, I can't make them like her. I have tried may other ways, this was the best for me. Key was the kneeding. Thanks
