    Crisp/ Jaadi Roti

    Ingredients

    2 cups wheat flour
    1/4 cups fine semolina
    2 tbsp butter
    2 tbsp ghee
    salt to taste
    hot or warm water to knead

    Method

    Mix all ingredients and make very stiff dough. Take dough the size of a cricket ball.

    Knead till smooth and round. Roll to a thick chappathi. About 1-1 1/2 cm thick.

    Prick with a Fork.

    Place on a hot griddle on lowest heat. Let one side dry. Then let other side get crisp.

    Meanwhile pinch the roti on upper side in a circular motion till small mounds are formed on the whole roti.

    Use a mesh with stand over direct flame to roast the pinched side. Keep flame low to get crisp rotis.

    Serve with ghee and with lots of dal and rice or with curds. It may be crumbled and dipped in dal too.

    These crisp chapattis will be very useful while traveling and you can store them for more than a week.

    Parathas with dry filling


    Ingredients:

    For Dough:

    2 cups flour
    1 tbsp. oil or ghee
    salt to taste

    For Filling:

    1/2 cup gram flour
    1 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
    1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
    3-4 pinches asafetida
    1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
    1 tbsp. coriander finely chopped
    1/4 tsp mint powder (optional)

    oil or ghee to make parathas

    Method:

    For Dough:

    Mix all ingredients except water.

    For Filling:

    Mix the gram flour, chilli powder, turmeric powder, asafetida, cumin seeds, coriander and mint powder.

    For Parathas:

    One paratha requires a pingpong ball sized lump of dough.

    Roll, spread oil on the chapathi.

    Close the chappati as you do for other fillings.
    Press and reroll to full size.
    Heat a heavy griddle, place paratha on it.
    Allow one side to cook have brown golden patches.
    Turn repeat for other side.
    Serve hot with curds and pickle.
