Ingredients

2

1 cup Amaranth flour

quarter teaspoon Salt

half cup Water

Tips

Keep the dough covered while working to prevent it from drying out.

Amaranth flour can be sticky, so use flour for dusting.

Experiment with adding chopped herbs or spices for extra flavor.

Directions

Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the amaranth flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Divide and roll: Divide the dough into equal portions (about 4 portions). Roll each portion into a small ball.

Roll the rotis: Lightly dust your rolling surface with flour. Roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Cook the roti: Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled roti on the skillet and cook until small bubbles form on the surface (about 1 minute). Flip and cook the other side until lightly browned. Apply a small amount of oil on each side while cooking for a soft and moist roti.

Repeat and serve: Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve the rotis warm with your favorite curry or yogurt.

Notes

Amaranth is beneficial for those with diabetes due to its low glycemic index. It also helps improve bone health and heart health.

Those allergic to amaranth should avoid consuming this roti.
