Besan Ki Roti | Chickpea Flour Roti | How to Make Besan Ki Roti with step-by-step photos
Besan Ki Roti is a spicy traditional flatbread, which is a quick and easy Pakistani flatbread, tasty and soft, it can be eaten with curry or you can enjoy it at
any meal or make them for a party or get
together, I have customized this besan ki roti
(flatbread)by mixing gram flour (besan)with some wheat flour
This mixed flour version is much easier to make
healthier and lighter on the tummy
Gram flour is considered a heavier flour to
digest, hence eating pure gram flour rotis at times makes you feel extremely heavy or over full, to enhance the taste are added onion, green
chili, coriander leaves, dry pomegranate seeds, whole coriander
Besan roti is served with garlic
sauce, raita, curry(salan)
I often cook this roti in the winter
season, and have it with chutney or curry easy to make, so let’s begin
Put whole spices like coriander and cumin seeds, pomegranate seeds, and black peppercorn, dry roast them on low flame for 2 minutes, put them into a grinder jar, and grind to make a coarse powder
Mix them well until everything is incorporated, Now pour a little water and mix it in a rotating motion from the center of a bowl to outward until it forms a dough and cleans the sides of the bowl
Make a ball and put it back into a bowl, and Keep aside for resting for about 15 minutes
Preheat the
tawa (cast iron flat griddle) on medium flame, take
some extra flour on a plate for dusting, Knead
the dough again with oily hands for a minute, and roughly divide the dough into
equal parts(ball size depends on how thick you want to make the roties), Place
the ball of dough into flour and press flat, dusting on both size
Place the roti on a preheated skillet, and let it cook on low to medium flame, one side little bubble starts appearing to flip the roti, and turn over the other side, keep the flame low to medium otherwise it will burn or remain uncooked inside.
Now transfer to the tray or any other plate, and apply some butter or ghee to the cooked roti, besan ki roti is done
Served it with garlic chutney,raita, and onion slice
