Roti Prata

Ingredients:

• 3 Cups flour • 5 tbsp Melted ghee or margarine • 3 - 6 tbsp Vegetable oil • 1 Cup warm milk • 1 tsp Salt

How to make Roti Prata:

• Sift the flour and salt into a big bowl, add ghee and stir till mixture looks crumbly. • Slowly pour in the milk and mix properly. • Knead the dough without adding extra flour till it pulls away from the bowl and forms a soft ball. • Continue kneading till the dough is slightly sticky, for about 10 minutes. • Cut the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball, flatten it slightly and massage it with ghee. • Put the flattened balls on a tray and cover it with a wet cloth. • Let the dough rest for about 5 hours. • Now evenly oil a rolling pan and work surface with ghee. • Roll out each ball and extend it into a paper-thin circle, about 9 inches in diameter. • Heat a skillet on medium flame and grease it with 1 tsp each of a vegetable oil and ghee. • Fry the roti gently for about 2 minutes till the bottom is properly browned. • When the bottom is golden brown and speckled and the roti is puffy, take out it and drain on a paper towel.
