Square Rotti

“Square Roti” typically refers to a type of flatbread that is square in shape. Roti is a traditional unleavened flatbread widely consumed in South Asia. It is a staple in countries such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and it comes in various forms and sizes.

To make square roti, you would follow a similar process to making traditional round roti but shape the dough into squares instead. Here’s a basic recipe for making square roti:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
• Water, as needed
• Salt, to taste
• Ghee or oil, for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
   • Gradually add water and knead the mixture to form a smooth, elastic dough. The consistency should be soft but not sticky.
2. Divide the Dough:
   • Divide the dough into small portions, each roughly the size of a golf ball.
3. Shape into Squares:
   • Take one portion of the dough and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Then, flatten it into a disc.
   • Using your fingers, shape the disc into a square. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a square shape.
4. Cook the Roti:
   • Heat a griddle or a flat pan over medium heat.
   • Place the square roti onto the hot surface. Cook for a minute or two until bubbles appear on the surface.
5. Flip and Cook:
   • Flip the roti and cook the other side. You can apply a little ghee or oil on both sides during the cooking process to enhance the flavor.
6. Repeat:
   • Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the square roti warm with your favorite curry, dal, or any side dish of your choice.

Square roti is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed with various dishes or used as a wrap for fillings. It’s a simple and wholesome addition to your meals. Feel free to experiment with the size and thickness of the squares based on your preference.
