VARAGU FLOUR

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, add the varagu flour and salt.
   • Gradually add water little by little and knead the flour to form a soft, pliable dough. The amount of water needed may vary, so add it gradually until you achieve the right consistency. The dough should be smooth and not too sticky.
   • Let the dough rest for about 10-15 minutes, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.

2. Divide and Shape:

   • After resting, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
   • Take each portion of dough and flatten it slightly between your palms.

3. Roll Out the Rotis:

   • Dust the rolling surface and rolling pin with some varagu flour to prevent sticking.
   • Place one portion of dough on the rolling surface and gently roll it out into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. If needed, sprinkle more flour to prevent sticking.

4. Cook the Rotis:

   • Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat.
   • Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the rolled-out roti onto it.
   • Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on one side until you see small bubbles forming.
   • Flip the roti to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until both sides are cooked and lightly browned.
   • You can lightly press the roti with a spatula while cooking to ensure even cooking.
   • Brush the cooked roti with ghee or oil if desired.

5. Serve:

   • Remove the cooked roti from the skillet and place it on a plate.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
   • Serve the varagu flour rotis hot with your favorite side dish, such as curry, chutney, or yogurt.
