Roti is the traditional Indian bread, normally eaten with [[curries]] or cooked vegetables. It is made most often from [[wheat flour]], cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a [[tawa]]. It is similar to a [[tortilla]] in appearance. Like breads around the world, roti is a staple accompaniment to other foods, maybe spread with [[ghee]] (clarified butter) or [[yogurt]].

Whilst kneading [[dough]] can be therapeutic, if time is your enemy, then the [[food processor]] is your friend.

Roti are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 cup [[atta flour]] or [[strong white flour]]
| 2 tablespoons [[vegetable oil]]
| [[Salt]] and [[freshly ground black pepper]] to taste
| 2 tablespoons [[yogurt]] (optional)
| ½ cup water
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Tip all of the ingredients and half of the water into the [[food processor]] with a plastic blade or dough hook attachment
| Blitz the mixture whilst adding a more water a little at a time until you have a soft, pliable dough that is not too sticky
| Remove from the processor, dust with a little [[flour]] and rest for 30 minutes in a bowl, covered with a damp tea-towel
| Divide into 6 equal parts and roll into balls
| With a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll each roti out into a 13cm (5") disc, about the thickness of a small coin (penny, dime, nickel etc)
| Without using any [[oil]], heat a [[tava]] or [[frying]] pan until very hot
| Cook each roti for about 2 minutes a side until flecked with brown patches. They should puff up slightly.

===Serving suggestions===
