A soft, simple flatbread made with just five ingredients and one bowl. Ghee gives these rotis their rich flavor and soft texture, and a short rest is all it takes to get a dough that rolls out easily every time.
Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Rub the ghee into the flour until crumbly.
Add warm water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
Cover and rest for 1 to 2 hours. Divide into equal portions, roll into balls, then flatten and roll out into circles.
Cook on a hot pan or tawa on both sides until golden and cooked through.
Serve right away or keep it covered.
Notes
Store cooked rotis covered at room temperature if eating within the day.
For longer storage, wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few days, or freeze for up to 2 to 3 months. Reheat directly in a hot pan, no need to thaw first.
