Tandoori Roti / Tandoori Roti Recipe In oven / Baked Tandoori Roti

Today's recipe is Tandoori Roti / Baked Tandoori Roti / Tandoori Roti in Oven. Tandoori roti is made with a whole wheat flour and is not yeast based and thus its different from Naan, where as Naan is mainly made of white flour and is a yeast bread. Both are done in Tandoor / Clay oven but can also be made in stove top and in oven/baking method also. I tried the baking method and it turned out good. It is very simple and does not involve complicated process or more fancy ingredients. Just a regular chapathi dough using whole wheat flour with the addition of yogurt needed to make a very soft, flavorful Rotis in oven. Only thing is you need either pizza stone or cast iron pan which holds more heat and thus gives a tandoor effect. Now off to the recipe...

Preparation Time :  10 minutes Resting Time : 30 minutes
Cooking Time : 15-20 minutes
Makes  4 Rotis
Ingredients
  1. Whole wheat flour   1 heaped cup plus for dusting

  • Mix flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt together and then add the oil and yogurt and mix to make crumbly dough.
  • Add water as needed and mix to make smooth and soft dough.
  • Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes and Set the dough aside and cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Pre heat the oven to 500 degrees with a pizza stone/baking stone or cast iron pan for about thirty minutes so the stone becomes hot. Next turn the oven to bake.
  • Divide the dough into four equal parts.
  • Roll each dough into 6-8 inch flat disc, use flour to roll the dough. make a medium thick disc.
  • Now brush the rolled disc with water and also wet your palms and take the rolled dough and flip them between your palms before placing them onto your baking stone or iron pan in the oven
  • Make sure you place the wet surface on the pan, close the oven and wait for 2-3 minutes, depending upon your oven. 
  • When it puffed up and turns golden brown on top.
  • After the roti is baked, remove from the oven and brush it with butter or ghee.
  • Wait for 2 to 3 minutes before baking the next roti to allow the oven to reheat.
  • That's it..Tandoori Roti ready. Serve Hot with any desired curry, we had it with Malai Kofta Curry.


Notes:
My first roti did not turn golden brown, so i brushed the other three with milk.
Also i let it broil for a minute before taking out from the oven.

    1. Here, in my convection over we have PRE HEAT Mode, will start pre heat mode with setting desired temperature. After few minutes, it is done with a beep sound. I don't know about other oven. Share about your oven type will try to find the method.
