Ingredients

• 2 cups wheat flour / multigrain atta
• 1/4 cup garlic pearls
• 2 tsp oil
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed
• Oil / Butter / Ghee to toast

Instructions

• Separate garlic pearls from pod then remove the skin from them.You can either chop it finely or crush it.I used my garlic press.Collect crushed garlic in a bowl and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl take wheat flour, add required salt,half of crushed garlic,oil.Mix well with your finger tips.
• Add water little by little to form a smooth pliable dough just like chapathi dough.Set aside for 10mins.Make big lemon sized balls.
• Place on a chapathi roller and roll it using a rolling pin to a slightly thick roti.Sprinkle flour if needed.Sprinkle sesame seeds and spread crushed garlic.
• Slightly roll it for pressing.like wise make all your rotis.
• Sprinkle oil on the tawa,carefully place a roti with the sesame side down on the tawa.Press it with a laddle for even cooking.
• Flip over, press and cook until golden brown spots appear here and there.Alternately you can cook one side(with the garlic side down) in tawa and flip and cook in direct flame as we do for phulkas.Make the rotis.Brush it with butter/ghee.

Notes

• I tried making like tandoori roti but had a raw garlic taste while eating so tried alternate method and this one worked like a charm.
• You can even cook in direct flame just like how we make phulkas,after onme side is cooked flip and cook for a second then cook in dorect flame.
