"Whole Wheat Roti" recipe as made in India. It is also called Chapati, Phulka, or Indian Flat Bread. This roti recipe is easy to make and can be eaten with many side dishes. I’ll show the chapati rolling technique.
Since 2011, I use organic einkorn wheat to make roti for our daily meals. Einkorn is an ancient grain, which is easier to digest than modern wheat. I purchase 50-100 pounds of organic einkorn berries in bulk. Einkorn is packed with more nutrients, vitamins, and dietary minerals than regular wheat. Einkorn has 30% more protein and 15% less starch than commercial wheat, plus abundant B Vitamins and trace minerals like iron.
Almost daily I grind organic einkorn berries, to make fresh flour for roti. Store bought flours may be months old due to which they may not be that nutritious. It’s even more healthier to slowly stone grind any grain. I have noticed if I just knead the dough (einkorn or whole wheat) with water the rotis turn out hard, which is why I knead the dough with plain yogurt and water.
