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.
2. Add Warm Water slowly and knead to form a medium firm dough.
3. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, covered.
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.
7. Place rolled out roti on a hot tava and cook until bubbles appear.
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.
10. Repeat the process until all rotis are cooked on tava.
11. When ready to eat, pop rotis into a toaster and toast them on medium until they puff up.
12. You may need to re-toast the roti until darker brown spots appear.
13. Once the roti is done, remove from toaster and lightly butter it.
14. Place the roti in a paper towel and lightly crush it.
15. Serve hot.

Hi,
Its a gr8 idea.I have a question…
How to keep these rotis soft once they are out of toaster ??Because all may not be consumed at once.
[Reply]
April 25th, 2008 at 3:04 am
Generally we only toast what we need instead of storing them after toasting. A good idea is to keep the toaster on or near the dining table and make them fresh as you consume them.

GENIUS!!! Most of us make chapathis and have toasters at home. But never thought or heard about this. This is great!
Could you also show how to bake wheat bread? I have eaten khara (spicy) bread, potato stuffed bun, etc in India and want to make the same with wheat flour at home.

hi
anuja
what is chapati flour is it all purpose or wheat or ata
thanks
[Reply]
May 7th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Hi Amina,
Chapati flour is the whole wheat atta that you find in the Indian stores. It is not all-purpose flour which is maida.

hello. i tried to make rotis out of only chappati flour, but they were coming out very dark and dry, but after i mixed in some regular white flour, they were alright. why do you think it could have happened? and do you think i should always mix the two types of flour together?

June 2nd, 2008 at 5:28 pm
wow, had totally given up on making roti.
(rubber roti)is what it was.
but this recipe came out wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
this made more than we could use in one meal so
the extras (pre toaster stage) were cooled on a rack and frozen between wax paper in a sealed container. the next morning pop in toaster and walla… roti! one shunk to thaw and one to toast. and yes, anuja, i had it with left-over baingan bhurta. you two are the best. x0x

Can I use regular flour? We don’t have an Indian food store where I live. Thanks!

Hi Salam,
Sorry, somehow your question got overlooked. You can also use a toaster over or do it the conventional way, on the stove-top. They can also be made in the oven (broil) and you will have to flip them around half way thru. Hope that helps.
Hi Gobin,
Flour will not work for this recipe. But if you don’t have an Indian store, the next best (& closest) thing would be to use Whole Wheat Flour for regular grocery stores.

i’m pretty sure i’ve already asked this but i can’t find it anywhere–>can i substitute curry powder for curry leaves. I’m unable to find them anwhere. If I can’t substitute it; any idea on where i can find them?
[Reply]
November 5th, 2008 at 3:04 am
Hi Zarah,
Curry powder is a misleading name since it has no curry leaves in it. Curry powder is just a generic name for a bunch of Indian spices mixed together. You should be able to find curry leaves in any Indian/South Asian grocery store.

Hi Hetal and Anusha,
I discovered yr website recently and have been trying out things. Tandoori roti came out great and so did the puffs. The only thing I did different was apply oil/ghee after crushing the roti. Great job. Keep it up.

It is a regular pop-up toaster that you get, nothing fancy. The one we have shown just toasts 4 at a time instead of the conventional 2 at a time.
Hope that helps!

Can we make nan also in the same wasy as u made tandoori roti’s??

The dough for naan is very soft and probably will not hold up in a toaster. You can use your oven, though.

We’ve never tried to make this in a sandwich maker, but the benefit of a toaster is that the heat comes evenly from both sides. Don’t know if that will happen in a sandwich maker. If you decide to try it, we’d love to hear your results.

June 9th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
great idea ! Can we put the dough in the fridge and make it late in the same way or it has toi be freshly made just before making rotis?
[Reply]
anuja Reply:
June 9th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Yes, the dough can me made ahead and frozen. You can also go a step further and semi-cook the rotis and then freeze them. Later when you are ready to serve/eat, thaw and pop them in the toaster and they are ready to go:)
Enjoy!
