Moti roti/Jadi roti/Thick roti/ Pinched Roti- Call it by any name. It taste as heavenly like Dal Bati. If you are craving for Dal Bati and not in the mood of baking Bati, Make this Moti roti on the tava/griddle. This is so heavy and filling, quarter pie of the roti makes me full but just for the taste alone, I cannot resist myself to one pie. I always end up with a second serving which I top it with small pieces of jaggery.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1/4th cup gram flour(optional)
- 2 tablespoon melted ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- salt to taste
- water as required.
Method
- Add ghee in the wheat flour. Mix it with fork.
- Add salt and ajwain.
- Now knead the flour with the water and make a stiff dough.
- Knead till smooth and make a round 1 or 2 ball out of it.*
- Roll it to make 1- 1.5 cm thick roti.
- Place it on the hot griddle on low heat.
- When the color changes on the top and tiny bubbles appear, turn it over (approx. time 1 min).
- Now pinch the roti on upper side in a circular motion.
- Let the lower side get crisp. Once it get crisp use the mesh stand* to roast the pinched side over very low flame/coil/induction gas.
- Smear the roti with lots of ghee and serve with the dal of your choice.
Note:
1-The griddle which I used was of 12 inch in diameter so I made 1 ball of whole dough.
2- If you don't have mesh to roast you can roast it on griddle.
3- Low flame or heat helps in making the roti crisp.
4- To enjoy it more, crumble the roti, mix with dal. Add 1 tablespoon ghee and eat with onion, garlic chutney, papad and pickle on the the side.
5- This crisp roti you can pack along with you when you travel. the shelf life is more than a week.
Have a look what my fellow Blogging Marathoner's are doing.
