Spicy Oats Roti

Another recipe from My e-cookbook collections. The recipe in the cook book was Spicy roti which used wheat flour and besan flour. At the time of preparation I didn’t have besan, so replaced it with powdered oats. Remaining all procedures are same. You can also use carom seeds instead of cumin seeds.

Basic Information:

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Idle Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Makes: 8 Rotis

Ingredients:

Wheat flour / Atta – 1 cup + 1/4 cup for dusting

Quick cooking Oats – 1 cup

Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon

Red chilli powder – 1 teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Oil – 1 tablespoon

Coriander leaves – 3 strings, finely chopped

Water – As required to make the dough

Method:

1) In a dry mixer/ coffee grinder, take quick cooking oats and powder it.

2) In a mixing bowl, mix wheat flour, powdered oats, red chilli powder, oil, salt, cumin seeds and coriander leaves.

3) Slowly add water and make smooth and tight dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.

4) After 30 minutes, divide the dough into equal sized balls.

5) Roll each ball into round disc with the help of rolling pin. Use wheat flour for dusting.

6) Heat skillet / tawa. When it is hot, place the roti. Smear it using butter / oil. I didn’t use any of these two.

7) Turn to other side after few seconds to cook the other side.

8) Serve immediately. We had it with Fresh green peas masala with lemon wedges.

Notes:

1) Use oil or butter to cook roti. I usually don’t add oil while cooking roti, so I didn’t add it.

2) Use maida or all purpose flour for dusting the rotis. This way you can avoid the white patches on the rotis to some extend.
