Roti / Chapati Flatbread

Step 3: Cook

    • rolled roti

Place a cast iron over medium-high heat gas stove to preheat for a few minutes (450-475°F/232-246°C is the ideal surface temp).

Flap a rolled roti in between your hands to dust off excess flour, then gently place into the hot pan.

Cook on one side for 40 to 50 seconds until there is light bubbling and . Flip and cook for another 15 seconds then remove the pan from the heat and place the roti on the open flame where hopefully it puffs up like a cloud.

  • If you don't have an open flame to work with, then just continue cooking in the pan for an additional 30-45 seconds. You should still see some puffing in the roti.

Immediately remove from the heat. Set aside in a clean towel or foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining roti.
