Equipment
- 1 tawa or cast iron skillet/griddle
- 1 rolling surface & pin tortilla maker
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats yield about ¾ cup oat flour
- 2 tablespoon besan
- ¾ to 1 cup water boiling, start with ¾ cup and add more if needed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon avocado oil plus extra for cooking
Instructions
Grind The Oats to Make Oats Atta
- Make sure that the blender jar is completely dry. Add the oats to the blender and blend until they form a fine flour. You will need to stop, scrape and mix a few times in between. Sieve the ground oats flour using a fine mesh to get rid of big particles. The finer the oats atta is, the softer the roti is. Blend back the oats remaining in the sieve and repeat. Oats atta is ready. Reserve ⅓ cup oats atta to use while rolling the rotis.
- Prepare The Oats Atta Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together oats atta, besan, salt and oil. Pour boiling water a little at a time and using a soft spatula, combine together. At this point, it will appear quite sticky and messy. Don't worry. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. This helps the flour to absorb the water and it swells and the stickiness is reduced.
- Once rested, oil your palms and knead the dough for 1-2 minutes.
Roll The Rotis
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 6-7 equal parts and flatten each dough using your palm. I like making smallish rotis because I feel that these rotis make you feel fuller easily. You can make as big or small as you like.
- Dust your rolling surface as well as each dough ball with loose oats flour. Roll using a rolling pin into a 5 or 6 inch circle dusting with flour as needed.For a neat shape, place a bowl on the rolled dough and cut all around into a neat circle.
- Alternatively- you can use a tortilla press if you own one (I do the same).
Cook the Rotis
- Place the roti on a hot tawa and let cook for 8-10 seconds on first side. Using a spatula, flip and let cook for 4-5 seconds on the other. Smear a teaspoon of oil on each side and cook until small brown spots appear. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can add some spices like cumin, kasuri methi to the dough if you wish.
- Oil your palms before kneading the dough.
- Use a 6 inch bowl or plate to cut the roti into round shape after roll
- You can easily double the recipe.
- You can skip the besan (chickpea flour) if you wish.
- Dont cook the rotis on too low or too hot tawa.
