Subscribe in a readerHave you ever had just a little bit of Daal leftover and you didn’t know what to do with it? Maybe it wasn’t even enough for one person, let alone your whole family. If this is you, then try this delicious recipe for Missi Roti (also known as Daal Roti) which is Indian unleavened bread made with flour and daal, or lentils. It has the goodness of carbs and protein all in one shot!
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Chapati Flour - 1 1/2 cups
Leftover Daal (any kind) - 1 cup
Salt - to taste
Red Chili Powder - to taste
Onion - 1/2 medium, finely chopped (optional)
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Oil - for pan frying
Dry Flour - for rolling
Method:
1. Heat leftover Daal in the microwave for 30 secs.
2. Add Salt and Red Chili Powder and mix well.
3. Add Daal to a medium size bowl and add in Onions and Oil. Mix.
4. Finely chopped green chilies and cilantro can also be added if the daal doesn’t already have them.
5. Add Chapati Flour to the Daal a little at a time and start to mix until a medium firm dough is formed.
6. Coat the dough with a few drops of Oil, cover and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
7. Knead the dough and divide it into golf ball size balls.
8. Dip each dough ball into some dry flour to coat and roll it out into a tortilla size and shape disc. You may have to re-dip the roti in the dry flour if it sticks to the rolling surface.
9. Place the roti onto a hot tawa or skillet and cook until bubbles start to form.
10. Flip roti onto the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.
11. Smear a little oil on top of the roti and flip it over.
12. Press the roti with a spatula to cook evenly, smear this side with oil and flip again.
13. Keep pressing with the spatula until roti is fully cooked and the raw dough look has gone.
14. Keep roti in an insulated container and repeat process for remaining rotis.

Kneading is always a lot easier and better if you warm the water/milk or in this case, dal. In our Chapati video as well, we warm the water when we make the dough.

Hello Hetal and Anuja,
I had no patience until I went home after work to try this recipe - AWESOME !!
I have told my kids about your website as they are in the US in university and they keep asking me for recipes, your website (videos) will make things easy for them.
Your parathas (in bread toaster) is another wonderful idea.
Keep up the good work !

A silly question:
I have been looking to buy a tawa for making parathas. I liked your tawa in the video.:) Any idea what kind would be good to buy, here in the US.

Hi,
Thanks for another great & tasty recipe. Keep up the good work!! Just wanted to know if i can use Atta for this recipe? And how do you get soft chapattis using Atta? I have Golden Temple brand ( Durum Atta Flour- Durum Wheat flour & wheat bran). I have tried many times making chapattis with this but it does not come soft. I also added milk while kneading, but i end up getting chapattis like pappad. It becomes hard to bite.
Thank you for your time & response !!

Hi Jaya,
We have used atta for this recipe. We use Laxmi brand chapati atta and get good results. Please see our video on chapati/paratha:

Hi,
Incase I already have ready dough and leftover dal can I just mix the two instead of mixing dry flour to dal and making the dough form start?

Hi Anuradha,
Unfortunately, you cannot add the daal to already made dough. It will just make it sticky and too soft to work with.
