Instructions

Making Dough for the Outer Layer Chapati

  • In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup maida, salt to taste, 1 tbsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp oil. Mix well.
  • Gradually add ¾ cup water and knead into a tight and smooth dough for the roti.
  • Add 1 tsp oil to the dough and knead for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and starchy.
  • Apply some oil and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Making the Stuffing

  • In a mixing bowl, add 2 boiled potatoes and mash them with your hands.
  • Then add ½ cup chopped onion, ½ cup chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp green chili-ginger paste, 1 tsp black salt, salt to taste, 1 tsp chaat masala, 1 tsp roasted jeera powder, 1 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tbsp tomato sauce, 1 tbsp tamarind jaggery chutney, and some coriander leaves. Mix well.
  • The stuffing is ready.

Assembling the Nasta

  • Take a medium-sized dough ball.
  • Coat it with dry flour and roll out a thin, large-sized roti.
  • Prick the roti with a fork.
  • Heat a kadai, place the rolled roti inside, and spread it evenly in a round shape.
  • Press the roti slightly and roast it on a low flame.
  • Apply some butter on the sides and center of the roti, then continue roasting on low flame until it becomes crisp.
  • Spread some tamarind jaggery chutney and tomato sauce over the roti.
  • Add 2 tbsp of masala and spread it in a thin layer over the roti.
  • Grate cheese over the masala and sprinkle some sev on top.
  • Immediately remove the nasta from the kadai and serve.
  • Roti Nasta tastes great with masala chaas!

Notes

  • The addition of maida adds starchiness to the dough and also helps make the roti crispy. You can add ½ cup of fine rava instead of maida.
  • Knead a tight yet medium-soft dough for the roti. Do not knead a soft dough.
  • Roll the roti thin and slightly larger for nasta. Prick the rolled roti so it roasts properly.
  • Roast the roti on a low flame until it becomes crispy.
  • Spread a thin layer of masala on the roti.
  • Serve the nasta immediately. Do not cook it further after adding the potato masala, or it will become soggy.
