Tandoori roti is one of the famous North Indian recipes. This is an exclusive flat Indian bread which is made from whole wheat flour. We find many types of bread which are made from refined flour. As we all know wheat is packed with many micronutrients. This recipe serves best with the combination of shahi paneer.
In North India, especially in dhabas located on highway roads tandoori roti or butter naan along with paneer recipe is common. When we are planning to make this recipe we may or may not have a tandoor oven. For people who have tandoor oven they can easily make it but for people who don’t have, they can make with a simple trick.
Every house has a kadai (round bottomed vessel), we usually use this for making deep fry items, in our case we use it in reverse side. Put this vessel on the heat in reverse so that oval shape is facing up the way rumal roti is made or even you can use clean and wide chapati pan. We need to apply butter or ghee when roti is hot and served immediately or else we may feel hard or chewy.
Tips to help you make a delicious Tandoori roti at home:
- Use the right flour: Tandoori roti is typically made with whole wheat flour, which gives it a nutty flavor and a soft texture. Use fresh flour for the best results.
- Knead the dough well: Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes to develop the gluten and make it soft and pliable.
- Let the dough rest: After kneading the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the dough to become more pliable.
- Roll the roti thin: Tandoori roti is traditionally rolled thin, so use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to a thickness of around 2-3mm.
- Cook on high heat: Cook the Tandoori roti on a high heat to ensure that it puffs up and becomes soft and fluffy.
- Use a tawa or griddle: If you don’t have a tandoor oven, you can cook the Tandoori roti on a tawa or griddle on the stovetop. A cast-iron tawa works best.
- Use a brush to apply ghee: Brush the Tandoori roti with ghee or butter immediately after cooking to keep it soft and add flavor.
By following these tips, you can make a delicious Tandoori roti that is soft, fluffy, and perfect to accompany your favorite Indian curries. Enjoy!
