Delicious Missi Roti Recipe - Authentic Mexican Bread

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (for a healthy base)
  • 1 cup water (adjust as needed for dough consistency)
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (for flavor)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder (adds spice depth)
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder (for color and health benefits)
  • 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 tbsp ghee or oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp garam masala (for an aromatic finish)
  • 1 tbsp yogurt (for tenderness (optional))

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, and red chili powder. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough.

    Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes for better texture.
  2. Divide the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls.

    Keep the balls covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  3. Roll Out the Roti

    Flatten each ball into a round shape using a rolling pin, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.

    Aim for an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  4. Cook the Roti

    Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook each roti for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

    Press lightly with a spatula for even cooking.
  5. Add Ghee or Oil

    Optionally brush the rotis with ghee or oil while cooking for extra flavor.

    Serve hot with your favorite dip or curry.
