STEP-BY-STEP

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, jowar flour, bajra flour, ragi flour, besan, oats powder, psyllium husk, cumin seeds, and salt.
  • Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
  • Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This improves texture and makes rolling easier.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin round roti using dry flour if needed.
