Misi Roti
Rotis and Parathas are oft made breads/stuffed breads in India. Special touches are added from region to region. And Misi Roti is such, hailing from the region of Rajasthan. I like the addition of spices to this roti which otherwise is made plain with wheat flour. The aroma that hits one's nostrils while making the rotis is so pleasant and appetizing.
Made predominantly with besan with little addition of plain and wheat flour ( to help in giving elasticity to the dough) it has that nice yellow color. There are of course variation coming in from families to families and this is one.
- 2 cups Besan (chickpea flour)
- 1 cup Maida ( APL - All purpose Flour )
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp ajwain ( carom seeds )
- 2-3 sping onions, chopped thinly along with leaves
- few springs of cilantro , chopped well
- a pinch of asafoetida
- 3-4 tbsp ghee
- salt to taste
Add all the ingredients together.
Mix them well with your hand and knead till it becomes a soft dough. Add little water to help it to bind. Cover and set aside for 30min.
Take the dough and divide them into small equal sized balls and using a rolling pin in a floured surface , flatten it into a round shape. ( Triangle is common too ). Not very thin nor very thick.
Heat a non stick pan and grease it lightly with oil /ghee. Place the rolled out bread ( Roti ) in the pan and cook in medium heat.
After 1 -2 min turn it over.

Tried these as well last night. My son loved them. I changed them slightly (didn’t have green onions..used spinach). I will add some garlic powder to make them even tastier.
Hello..i would like to know how many roti does this yield?
Hi Naailah – depending on the thickness, this recipe yeilds about 8-10 rotis–DK
Just made these and they came out delicious, although I think my dough was too dry/hard. Still very tasty. Next time I guess I should add more ghee and water?
Yes, add enough water to make the dough soft. If its not a pliable dough, then it will become hard…water should do..I think its enough ghee already – though I personally dont mind more!!
