Making Rice Pulka Roti

  • In a pan, add 2 cups of water, salt, and oil. Mix well and bring the water to a boil.
  • When it starts to boil, add some coriander leaves, lower the flame, and stir in 2 cups of flour. Mix well using a rolling pin. Switch off the heat, cover, and steam the dough for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl and knead into a smooth, soft dough. If the dough isn’t binding properly, add a little hot water.
  • Take a medium-sized ball, flatten it between your palms, then place it on a rolling board, dust with dry flour to prevent sticking, and roll it out slightly thin with a rolling pin.
  • Place the roti on a hot tawa, press gently, and cook on all sides.
  • Serve the super soft rice roti with chutney batata nu shak.

Notes

For chutney batata nu shak
  • Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes.
  • Boil the potatoes on high heat; do not boil them on low heat.
  • Adding ice cubes or cold water helps retain the green color of the chutney.
  • Sautéing the potatoes in oil gives them a slightly crisp coating on the outer surface.
  • Chaat masala enhances the flavor of the sabzi, but you can use amchur powder instead.
  • We prepare a dry variant of the sabzi, so do not add too much water while cooking.
For rice roti
  • Lower the flame while adding rice flour to the water.
  • The proportion of water to rice flour should be equal.
  • Knead a smooth dough when the mixture is slightly warm.
  • Cook the roti on medium-high heat; do not cook it on low heat.
