Khameeri Roti

So – Ive been working on this recipe and Alhamdolillah it now works perfectly.

600 gms flour
1 sachet/ 7 gms yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 sachet/3 tsps baking powder
Warm milk – around a cup and half, I eyeball it to be honest.
2 tblsp butter

Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm milk. Use a cup first.

Sieve the flour with salt and baking powder
Using the frothy milk, make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Use as much of the milk as you need. If you need more, use only warm
No water!

Once the dough comes together, add the butter and knead it till the dough is smooth. Touch flour to ur hand if its too sticky. But just touch. The dough should be slightly sticky.

Cover and rest for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Turn it out on a well floured board, make small peras, rest 5 minutes and roll out. Not too thin or thick.

Use a non-stick pan, on medium high heat, and place the rolled out roti on it. It doesn’t need to be „cooked“ like a normal roti. Just flip it after a few seconds. Use a spatula to pat down slightly.

Remove and keep warm and covered.

Ive added a dab of ghee at times – makes a great roghni soft roti.

Its become a regular in my home. Easier to make and super soft. Give it a try. 🙂

Tip: Feedback from Noor Malik – 2 cups plus some was used for the kneading. Thank you Noor
