Making dough for roti or paratha ( Indian Flatbread )

Indian Flatbreads are called Roti , Paratha , Fulka , Chapati which are mainly made of wheat flour .
To make chapatis, you need to knead the dough. Here is the procedure to make the same.







Ingredients :


  • Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
  • Warm water or milk - 1 cup approx.
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp


Method to make the dough :

  • Put flour in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 tsp of salt.
  • You may use warm water or milk to make the dough.
  • Different brands of flour need different amount of water so we shall pour little water at a time. So pour 1/2 cup of water/milk into the flour and mix.
  • Add the remaining water/milk gradually and keep kneading it till all the dough comes together .
  • You can add 1/2 tsp of oil to it , so that it does not stick to your hand.
  • Rest the dough for half an hour before you start making rotis.
