Gluten Free rotli

Step 1

Combine the psyllium husk and water and leave for about 5-10 minutes until thickened

Step 2

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl mix well to distribute

Step 3

Once the psyllium-water mixture has thickened add it to the dry ingredients. Add the yogurt and mix well to incorporate

Step 4

Add the oil to the dough

Step 5

The dough should be tacky but not too sticky. If it is too wet, add more flour until the right consistency has been achieved. If too dry, add more water

Step 6

Divide the dough into 35g-40g balls (there should be 13-15).

Step 7

Flour the balls and roll them between your hands to make sure there are smooth.

Step 8

Gently flatten them between your palms.

Step 9

Roll them out on a well floured surface until they are thin (this ensures they puff up) and circular in shape. If the edges are very rough, you can use a plate (or other circular object) to trim the edges. They should be approximately 15 -20cm circles. If you have a tortilla press you can use this to make rolling easier. However, you may need to roll them thinner after pressing.

Step 10

Heat a frying pan (or a tawa/traditional Indian chapati pan) on medium heat

Step 11

Once the pan has heated, place the rolled dough onto it

Step 12

After about 10-20 seconds you should start seeing the dough has cooked through. Using tongs flip the rotli/chapati over. Small bubbles should start forming

Step 13

Using the tongs, remove the rotli from the pan and hold it above the flame. (If you do not have a gas hob/stove you will need to cook it for longer on the pan). You should start seeing the rotli puffing. Make sure to turn and flip them so they are evenly cooked. They should have small charred spots, however be careful not to burn them. They should only take a few seconds on the flame on each side.

Step 14

Immediately once cooked move to a plate and brush one side with melted ghee (this is optional but will add a nice flavour and keep the rotlis softer for longer). Stack the rotlis on top of each other.

Step 15

You can store leftovers in the fridge for a few days and reheat in the microwave or on a pan
