Til Wali Roti

🇮🇳 Indian

Sesame roti, nutty-crisp with winter jaggery. Flour, water, heat and hands — the oldest bread tradition on earth. Serve with any curry, dal or pickle on the table.

Prep 38 min Cook 23 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Sesame Seeds1 tsp
  • 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

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

  4. 4

    Cook the first side dry, the second side with ghee, and finish directly on the flame for the puff.

  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.
