whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

All-purpose flour is more readily available and cheaper.

Start by mixing whole wheat flour in a bowl without adding salt or oil.

Gradually add warm water a little at a time, mixing with fingers until the dough forms.

Knead the dough until it feels soft and stretchy, ensuring it's not too runny.

Cover the dough with a dish cloth to prevent it from drying out and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls for uniform thickness.

Dust each ball with dry flour and flatten it slightly.

Roll each ball into a thin circle, ensuring even thickness and shaking off excess flour.

Heat a cast iron tava over medium heat until it's hot enough that the color changes when tested with water.

Place the rolled dough onto the hot tava and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 30 seconds.

Flip the roti and cook the other side until it also bubbles, then transfer it to an open flame for a few seconds to puff it up.

Remove the roti from the flame and immediately brush it with butter.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, ensuring to keep the cooked rotis warm.
