Serving Suggestion: Serve Fresh with Brown Butter(Ghee) or Butter smeared along with choice of curry or vegetable.
Note: This version needs 24hrs/1day to keep the dough for fermentation.
Ingredients:
1.5 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 Yogurt
1/4 Cup Warm Water
1/2 Tsp Salt
Pinch of Sugar
2 Tbsp Oil – For Dabbing Dough

Make the Stovetop Tandoori Roti:
- After 24 hours, take the dough out from the fridge and keep aside for getting it back to room temperature.
