Gud Wali Roti

🇮🇳 Indian

Jaggery-smeared gud roti, childhood breakfast of North India. Flour, water, heat and hands — the oldest bread tradition on earth. Best with a rich gravy and sliced raw onions.

Prep 38 min Cook 15 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salt1 tsp
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, salt and water into a shaggy mass, then knead till smooth and supple; rest covered 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.

  3. 3

    Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.

  4. 4

    Cook on a hot tawa till brown blisters form, flip, then finish over an open flame (or in the pan with ghee) till it puffs.

  5. 5

    Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
