Tandoori Roti

Till now I've only eaten Tandoori Roti from restaurents, although I very well know that it is absolutely easy to make. So last  day I gave it a try and I would say that it was not bad. I still have lots to improve on it to get the exact texture. But this was perfectly okay for a first time. Enjoy.

Ingredients

Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt - as required
Water - 3/4 to  1 cup

Method

Measure and take wheat flour, transfer to a wide mixing bowl.Add salt and oil.
First mix well with your fingers so that the distribution is even, then start adding water little by little, start kneading.
Knead it to a soft pliable dough. Let the dough rest for atleast 30mins.Then knead it again and make medium lemon sized balls from the dough.Transfer one ball to the rolling board and sprinkle little flour on it.
Roll it to a slightly thick roti, You can either roll it as a circle or oval.On the top side, brush with little water.Repeat the process for other rotis too.0
Heat a dosa tawa, I used my iron dosa tawa.Once the tawa is hot,carefully transfer a roti so that the water surface touches the tawa. Allow it to cook for a minute, as bubbles start to come,carefully flip the dosa tawa upside down as keeping keep flame in high.Cook until the rotis are charred a bit. Rotate the tawa for even cooking. It will start to fall down, you can hold it with a tong.It is better if you have a handle for the dosa tawa.
If you don't have a dosa tawa with handle, then cook on one side in tawa then pull out the roti with a tong and place it directly on high flame. Brush it well with ghee / butter. Cut into two and serve!
