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.y
Gram flour is considered a heavier flour to
digest, hence eating pure gram flour rotis at times makes you feel extremely heavy or overfull. To enhance the taste are added onion, green
chili, coriander leaves, dry pomegranate seeds, and whole coriander
Besan roti is served with garlic
sauce, raita, and 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 pepper corns, dry roast them on a 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 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 it aside to rest 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. Once one side's little bubble starts bubbling, 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.
