Recipe for Chapati or Roti or Pulka
Once you taste these unleavened, unsalted simple breads - a person is hooked. This is simple, unpretentious home cooking but very satisfying, healthy and easy on the pocket book. There are also excellent for those with a yeast allergy. Rotis are made from small balls of dough that are rolled out and then partially cooked on a hot griddle and then finished directly over high heat. The high heat makes the rotis puff up into a ball. They are then lightly coated with ghee to keep them pliable until serving time. Line a tortilla basket with a napkin and keep the rotis in it. Allow 2-3 chapatis or rotis per person.
இந்த புளிப்பில்லாத, உப்பு சேர்க்காத எளிய ரொட்டிகளை நீங்கள் சுவைத்தவுடன் - ஒரு நபர் இணந்துவிட்டார். இது எளிமையானது, ஆடம்பரமில்லாத வீட்டுச் சமையல், ஆனால் மிகவும் திருப்திகரமானது, ஆரோக்கியமானது மற்றும் பாக்கெட் புத்தகத்தில் எளிதானது. ஈஸ்ட் ஒவ்வாமை உள்ளவர்களுக்கும் சிறந்தவை உள்ளன. ரொட்டிகள் மாவின் சிறிய உருண்டைகளிலிருந்து தயாரிக்கப்படுகின்றன, அவை உருட்டப்பட்டு, பின்னர் ஒரு சூடான கிரில்லில் ஓரளவு சமைக்கப்பட்டு, பின்னர் அதிக வெப்பத்தில் நேரடியாக முடிக்கப்படுகின்றன. அதிக வெப்பம் ரொட்டியை ஒரு பந்தாக உருட்டுகிறது. பரிமாறும் நேரம் வரை அவை வளைந்து கொடுக்கும் வகையில் நெய்யுடன் லேசாக பூசப்படுகின்றன. ஒரு டார்ட்டில்லா கூடையை ஒரு நாப்கினுடன் வரிசைப்படுத்தி அதில் ரொட்டிகளை வைக்கவும். ஒரு நபருக்கு 2-3 சப்பாத்தி அல்லது ரொட்டிகளை அனுமதிக்கவும்.
Ingredients to make about 6:
2.5 cups chappati flour with 1 cup water at room temperature made into a dough
1 cup chappati flour in a large plate for dusting the dough while rolling it out
ghee for brushing the bread
Method to roll out the dough:
Prepare the desired amount of dough from the Basic Dough recipe. After resting for 2-2 1/2 hours, knead well. Divide the dough into peach-size balls. On a lightly floured surface, flatten one ball of dough with your hand. Using a rolling-pin, roll out the dough into a thin,round patty, about 5 inches in diameter. Roll from the center, turning patty several times to prevent sticking. Try to make the edges slightly thinner than the center. As you cook the chappati/roti, one could be rolling out the next, rather than shaping all of the chapatis at one time.
Method of cooking the chappati or roti:
Preheat a cast-iron tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled dough on the palm of one hand and flip it over on to the tawa. When the color changes on the top and bubbles appear, turn it over. When both sides are done, use kitchen tongs (chimta) to remove the chapati from the skillet.
Gas Stove: If you have a gas stove, hold the cooked chapati over a medium flame and it will puff up immediately. Turn quickly to flame-bake the other side. Do this several times, taking care that the edges are well cooked.
Electric Stove: If you have an electric stove, chapatis can be encouraged to puff by pressing them with a clean kitchen towel after the first turn on each side. Repeat the shaping and cooking process until all chapatis are cooked.
To keep the chapatis warm as they are cooked, place them in a towel-lined bowl and fold over the sides of the towel. Serve hot, either completely dry or topped with a small amount of ghee or butter.
