Tandoori Roti is another type of Indian unleavened bread which is usually made in a clay oven called a tandoor and commonly enjoyed with chicken, lamb, mutton or other non-vegetarian dishes. Vegetarians out there, don’t worry. It tastes just as fabulous with vegetarian curry dishes as well! Try this easy to make at home recipe and method. You won’t need to run out and buy a tandoor!

Ingredients:

Chapati Flour – 1½ cups
Salt – ¼ tsp
Warm water – ½ cup + 1 Tbsp
Dry Chapati Flour – ½ cup, for rolling

Method:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together Flour and Salt.

4. Divide the dough into golf ball size balls.
5. Dip the dough ball into dry flour and roll it out into an oval shape (approx 5 inches).
6. Tandoori Rotis are a little smaller and thicker than normal chapatis.

8. Flip the roti over and cook this side until light brown spots appear.
9. Remove roti from tava and keep in a covered (preferably insulated) container.

13. Once the roti is done, remove from toaster and lightly butter it.
