Method

Making the dough

• If using dried fenugreek leaves, soak it in water for 5 minutes. Drain the water and squeeze out the leaves.
• Combine wheat flour, fenugreek leaves and a little salt in a bowl.
• Slowly, add water and start kneading to form a soft dough which is pliable.
• Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep it aside for at least 30 minutes to make soft Rotis.

Rolling out Rotis

• Make lemon sized balls from the dough using your palms.
• Flatten each ball by dusting it lightly in wheat flour.
• Place the flattened dough on a rolling board and start rolling to form a thin disc of 4-5? diameter.

Baking the Rotis

• Heat a tava or non-stick pan/griddle on medium-high heat. To ensure that the tava is hot, sprinkle a few drops of water and if it sizzles, it means your tava is ready. Place the rolled out roti on the hot tava.
• When you see small bubbles appearing on the surface of the roti after 30 seconds to 1 min, flip the Roti.
• Reduce heat, allow it to cook on medium-low heat till it starts puffing. You can press the roti with a towel or tissue paper so that it puffs up.
• When small brown spots start appearing on the underside, flip the roti and cook the other side similarly.
• With the back of a spoon dipped in oil, you can dab oil on both sides of the roti to make it soft or you can spray some cooking oil.
