English Simpal Recipes

Certainly! Tandoori roti is a popular Indian flatbread that's cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven. However, you can make a version of it at home using a regular oven or even a stovetop. Here's a simple recipe for English Simpal Recipes making tandoori roti at home:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)

- Water, as needed

- Salt, to taste

- 1 tablespoon yogurt (optional)

- Ghee or butter, for brushing (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Preparation of the Dough:

   - In a large mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour and salt. You can also add yogurt if you'd like; it helps to tenderize the dough.

   - Slowly add water little by little and knead the dough until it's smooth and pliable. The dough should be English Simpal Recipes soft but not sticky. It should take about 5-7 minutes of kneading.

   - Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

2. Preheat the Oven or Tandoor:

   - If using an oven, preheat it to its highest temperature (usually around 500°F or 260°C). If you have a pizza stone, you can place it in the oven while preheating to mimic the effect of a tandoor.

   - If you're using a tandoor, preheat it as per its instructions.

3. Divide and Roll the Dough:

   - After the resting period, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.

   - Roll each ball into a flat disc, about 1/4 inch thick. You can dust the rolling surface and the dough with flour to prevent sticking.

4. Cooking the Rotis:

   - Place the rolled out roti on a baking tray or a preheated pizza stone in the oven. You can also use a cast-iron skillet or a tawa on the stovetop.

   - Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming.

   - Then flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it puffs up and gets some brown spots. You can use tongs to gently press down on the edges to ensure even cooking.

5. Finishing Touches:

   - Once cooked, remove the roti from the oven or skillet.

   - Brush it with some ghee or butter for extra flavor and moisture.

   - Serve hot with your favorite curry or dal.

Tandoori roti pairs wonderfully with a variety of Indian dishes, from creamy curries to spicy gravies. Enjoy your homemade tandoori roti!
