Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Maida
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Sooji / White Rawa
  • A pinch Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • For Filling
  • 1 cup Grated coconut
  • 2 Tablespoons Poppy seeds
  • Jaggery powder - to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Ghee + extra for drizzling while cooking+ serving

Instructions

  1. Take rava,whole wheat flour,maida,salt in a bowl and mix. Add water little by little and knead to a soft dough. Fianlly add oil and knead well once again. The dough should not be stiff. Cover and keep aside for at least 1-2 hours.

  2. Take the grated coconut in a pan and roast it till it turns light brown and losses the moisture. Do this on low flame as it will get charred quickly. Transfer it into a bowl and let it cool. Take this in a mixe jar and add jaggery and grind in pulses without adding water.

  3. Heat ghee in a small pan and add the ground mixture and cook for a few minutes on low flame. Now add poppy seeds and cook for another minute. Remove from pan and let it cool.

  4. Knead the dough once more and pinch off a golf sized ball. Roll it into a ball and see if it cracks.If it does add alittle oil / water and knead again. Dust a little flour on the rolling surface and flatten teh ball of dough. Keep a table spoon[/ as required ] of the filling and bring the edges together. Roll out slowly into a 4" roti.

  5. Cook on a heated griddle, drizzling a little ghee on both sides, till brown spots appread on each side. Remove from griddle and serve brushed with ghee.

Recipe Notes

  • Let the dough rest for at least an hour. It will give the best results.
  • This dish is made with equal parts of maida / APF and Sooji. I have changed the proportions and added wheat flour as well.
  • The quantity of poppy seeds in the original recipe is more than twice of what I have added here.
  • If you don't like ghee, use sunflower oil to cook the Roti.
