Roti

Hi ..I trust that you all had a great big feast for Father's Day which was yesterday.... I hope you remembered to keep it healthy.

Anyway I wanted to share with you a modified Roti we had for lunch...it's equivalent to the merger between a Chapathi and a Paratha...thus I have coined it a "CHAPATHA". What I really like about it is the fact that it's not as greasy as some parathas (buss up shot ) that we are subjected to at functions and it does not give you indigestion.

For this roti we used the following ingredients.

• 3 Cups Multigrain Chapathi flour                                            
• 2 tsp organic coconut oil                                             
• 1 ½ cups warm water (approximate)
• 1 tsp salt (optional)
• Unsalted Butter or GHEE
• Oil for basting

METHOD

In a stainless steel bowl mix flour,salt,oil and knead with water. Sprinkle dry flour if mixture becomes sticky. Knead for about 5 mins into log shape and set aside as shown in the photo below.

You may rub with a few drops of oil and cover with damp cloth. Set aside and leave for 20 mins


Break dough into 9 balls (loyahs) as seen below. 

Roll each ball into circle about ¼” thick. 

Paste with ghee / unsalted butter. 

Using a sharp knife make slit from centre of dough to end.

Leave loyahs to sit for 10 mins. Roll out each loyah to ¼” thickness and place on hot tawa (cast iron baking stone).

Baste with oil turning over and repeating oil application.Turn over and cook until golden brown

Yummy! It was so delicious

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Remember to cook with love and good vibes.
