Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour /gundum atta1/
  • 2 cup semolina /sooji /rawa
  • 2 tbs milk powder
  • 4 tbs oil or ghee for dough and more to apply on roti
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 cup water

Instructions

  • Take semolina in bowl and add 1 cup hot boiling water, the semolina will puff up instantly. Stir and add more water as required. Puffed semilina should not be thick lump like but paste like.
  • In a large mixing bowl or thali take flour. Add puffed up semolina, milk powder, 2 tbs oil and salt. Mix well. Add more water to make a dough. Add very little water as after adding puffed semolina little water will be required to knead the dough.Add 2 tbs of oil and knead the dough for at least 2-3 minutes.
  • Rest the dough for 10 minutes.Knead again for a minute, the dough will be soft but not at all sticky and very pliable.
  • Apply oil on the rolling pin and board or the flat surface on which you intend to make roti.
  • Divide dough two large portions. Make a big ball of each portion.
  • Place the griddle on the medium flame for heating.
  • From each ball with the help of rolling pin make a circular flat shape. Spread 1 teaspoon oil on it and dust it with whole wheat flour. Now roll the circular shape, like a paratha roll. Divide each roll in 9 equal portion.
  • Shape each portion in a round ball and then press the ball to make a flat circular disc.
  • Dust each circular disc with wheat flour, and make circular roti with rolling pin. Use more wheat flour if required.
  • Place the roti on hot girdle, flip the roti after 3-4 sec.The other side or second side of roti has to be fully cooked before flipping to the first side. Smear oil on roti if frying on griddle/tawa. Cook the first side of roti completely and smear more oil.
  • Now either you can apply oil while cooking on girdle or you can simply take 1 teaspoon oil and smear on of roti after taking it off from griddle/tawa.
  • Follow same instruction with all shitabi roti and pile up roti one on top of other. When all rotis are cooked store in a hot pot or butterpaper lined aluminium foil. Soft and healthy mithi shitabi roti is ready.
