RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten free flour blend
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1½ cups very hot water (that had been boiling)
  • 1 tsp extra olive oil / avocado oil for kneading
  • About 1 cup refined coconut oil / avocado oil / palm shortening / ghee for deep frying
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and the salt. Mix using a spatula. Add the oil and then add the hot water in 3 divided portions. Stir with a spatula every time after adding. Continue mixing with the spatula for a minute or so until all the flour is wet and there is no dry flour in the bowl. Wait for a min for the dough to cool down a bit and then while still warm, knead the dough into a smooth dough. Add a bit more of oil if the dough is sticky until you get a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel.
To make rotis:
  1. Heat a cast iron pan or a non stick pan till hot. Turn heat to medium high.
  2. Take a ping pong sized dough ball and roll it out into about a 4 inch dia roti.
  3. Place the roti on the hot pan and cook for about 1 min. Flip using a spatula and cook for about 1 more min.
  4. Flip back and then using a spatula, press down on the roti slowly until it starts puffing up. Flip one more time and cook for 20-30 secs more and transfer to a plate.
  5. Repeat process for rest of the dough.
For pooris:
  1. Heat a deep frying pot/pan with the oil.
  2. Take a small dough ball and roll out to about 2 inch dia and slightly thicker than a roti.
  3. Slide the poori slowly into the to oil. Within 30 secs, it should puff up completely. Then flip it and cook for 30 more secs. Drain oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  4. Repeat process for rest of the pooris.
