Punjabi Missi Roti

🇮🇳 Indian

Punjabi missi roti, besan-wheat flatbread with onion, best with white butter. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Best with a rich gravy and sliced raw onions.

Prep 35 min Cook 14 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Ajwain1 tsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.

  2. 2

    Let it rest in a warm spot; the dough should look smoother and feel like an earlobe when ready.

  3. 3

    Portion the dough, stuff and pinch the seams closed, then roll with a feather touch so nothing bursts.

  4. 4

    Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.

  5. 5

    Finish with a slick of butter and eat while the first one is still steaming.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
