Rumali Roti
One serving has 204 kcal and 6 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (57%), selenium (41%), thiamin (31%) and niacin (20%). Ready in 26 minutes.

- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 1 min
- Makes: 1 serving (83.5 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 20 g Flour, whole wheat
- 0.5 g Salt
- 3 g Vegetable oil
- 30 g Water
Method
- Mix the two flours with the salt, then work in the oil and enough water to form a soft, very pliable dough; knead well for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and rest the dough for 20 minutes, then roll a ball of it out as thin as possible, stretching gently by hand until it is almost see-through. This makes 1 roti; multiply everything by the number of rotis you want.
- Heat an inverted wok or a large domed griddle over medium-high heat, then drape the thin dough over it.
- Cook for 20-30 seconds, flipping once, until it puffs in spots and cooks through without browning much, then fold into quarters and serve warm with a curry.
