13. Wheat Flour or Grits Pancake or Roti(Hindu Bread)

Ingredients:

Wheat Grits or Flour-<br>½ padi
Ghee-<br>1½ palam
Salt-<br>⅜ palam
  • 1. Mix well all the above ingredient, add adequate water and make it into uniform dough.
  • 2. Keep the dough for 1 ½ hour. Then take a lemon size ball from the dough, place it on the rolling board and roll it into standard size as dosai(crepe) shape with half inch thickness.
  • 3. Dust the wheat flour on the roller as well as on the dough before rolling to prevent sticking.
  • 4. Place it on the pan(turn on the fire) which is made up of either sand/stone/ steel.
  • 5. Once the bubbles appear on the pancake, flip it over once redness starts to appear.
  • 6. Follow the same step for rest of the dough.
  • 7. We can also use our palm to do this roti.
  • 8. Some will place ghee on hand,or will take 3-4 spoons of ghee and water in same amount and place it on both side of the roti/ pancake once it removed from the pan.
  • 9. This will maintain the softness of the roti.
  • 10. We can eat this roti with any gravy, stew, dhal. Spicy mango/banana paste(jam) also can be spread over the roti.
