Missi roti recipe: missi roti is staple Indian flat bread that is often made in Punjabi and North Indian homes. Whenever I am bored with my regular chapati I make naan, missi roti, rumali roti, sweet paratha.
There are many ways of making missi roti. In this version of missi roti I have added dry fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi) to get methi flavor. Instead of adding kasoori methi you can also try it with fresh methi leaves .Since fresh methi is not as strong as kasoori methi, you will need to
add extra amount of fresh methi leaves. Also since it already has moisture, you may need less water to kneed with fresh methi. The base of missi roti is always made with combination of whole wheat flour and gram flour (besan or chickpea flour).You may also use fine chopped onions in missi roti, they taste great 🙂 .
Missi roti is a good source of protein and nutrients. Gram flour helps lowering insulin level. Usually I don’t make plain roti at home. I always add some veggies to make mix veg roti or paratha or tofu to make tofu roti or simply add spinach and make spinach roti or left over dal to make dal roti. These variations make roti even healthier.
Traditional way, missi roti is made in tandoor but at home we can make it on our regular chapati tawa. You can also change the proportion of besan and whole wheat flour a little based on your taste, just make sure to alter water while kneading accordingly. Dough need to be soft and smooth. Always cook missi rotis on medium flame as they little thick and take time to cook all the way to inside.
