Tandoori Roti Recipe

Tandoori roti recipe with step by step pictures – Tandoori roti is a very popular flatbread recipe traditionally made in tandoor(a round clay oven).But here we are trying to replicate tandoor using a tawa on stove top to make tandoori roti.The dough for tandoori roti is the regular chapathi dough , what matters is the method of making.So I usually make tandoori roti for me and hubby,  phulkas for mittu and amma.

Tandoori roti or Naan is my staple order in restaurants when we dine out, As I always prefer north indian cuisine it would be either Roti or Naan with any gravy.As a big fan of tandoori roti, I tried quite a few methods to recreate the same texture of the roti as we get in restaurants and finally I got hold of making it since a year so thought to share it now.

Tandoori Roti Recipe

I kept postponing to try such types of flatbread as I didn’t have a proper dosa tawa with handle and I did’t want to use nonstick tawa.Finally I saw this iron dosa tawa in a small shop in townhall, but now I see this in many shops like Kanan and few other departmental stores too, this tawa got so popular that I got around 5 to distribute among relatives and cousins 🙂

  4. Roll it to a slightly thick roti, You can either roll it as a circle or oval as I did.On the top side, brush with little water.Repeat the process for other rotis too.

  5. Heat a dosa tawa, I used my iron dosa tawa.Once the tawa is hot,carefully transfer a roti so that the water surface touches the tawa.Allow it to cook for a minute, as bubbles start to come,carefully flip the dosa tawa upside down as keeping keep flame in high.Cook until the rotis are charred a bit.Rotate the tawa for even cooking.It will start to fall down, you can hold it with a tong.It is better if you have a handle for the dosa tawa.

  6. If you don’t have a dosa tawa with handle, then cook on one side in tawa then pull out the roti with a tong and place it directly on high flame as shown below.Brush it well with ghee / butter.

Serve hot!

My Notes:

  • Use iron tawa for best results.
  • I used homemade chapathi flour so it absorbs more water than the store bought flours so adjust according to your flour variety.
  • Make sure to rotate and cook else it will get cooked only in the middle.
  • It is recommended to use tawa with handle so that its easy for you to hold and flip over.Yes I have tried in nonstick and the texture was not that great so I am suggesting to use iron tawa.You can even use a kadai.
  • Do not use nonstick tawa as you might not get the right texture.
  • Make sure to roll the rotis a bit thick and not too thin like we do for phulkas.
  • Do not overcook while cooking in direct flame, I always use high flame, rotate and cook for just few seconds.
