Enjoy the flavours of Indian cuisine with this gluten-free besan roti, a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional flatbreads. Made with a combination of besan and rice flour, this roti is infused with the warmth of ajwain, turmeric, and fresh herbs, giving it a subtly spiced and aromatic taste. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, this roti is light wholesome and naturally high in protein. It pairs perfectly with yoghurt, chutneys or a comforting vegetable curry making it a versatile choice for any meal. You can also incorporate spinach, methi or grated carrots into the dough. This healthy, gluten-free Indian bread is a must-try for those who love traditional flavours with a nutritious twist.

Ingredients

  • Besan flour – 1 cup (250g)
  • Rice flour – ½ cup (125g)
  • Onion (chopped) – 1 no. small
  • Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp 
  • Chilli (chopped) – 2 tbsp 
  • Ajwain – 1 tsp 
  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp 
  • Salt – 1 tsp 
  • Warm water – ¾ cup (150ml)
  • Olive oil – 2 tsp 

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine besan flour, rice flour, onion, coriander leaves, green chilli, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. 
  • Gradually add warm water and mix with clean hands into a soft dough. The dough may be slightly crumbly due to the rice flour.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape into balls. 
  • Place a ball of dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and flatten it with a rolling pin into a thin circle. 
  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the roti on the pan. 
  • Cook it for 2-3 minutes on each side, and press lightly with a spatula for even cooking. 
  • Brush lightly with vegetable or olive oil for flavour and softness. 
  • Serve it with a side of yoghurt, chutney or a vegetable gravy. 

Healthy Tips & Facts

  • Rice flour makes the dough more delicate. Using parchment paper helps prevent tearing.
  • You can also add spinach, methi, or grated carrots for added flavour and nutrients. 
  • For extra softness, you can mix 1 tbsp yoghurt into dough before rolling. 
  • If the dough feels too dry, add a few drops of water. If too sticky, dust it with rice flour. 
  • Keep the heat medium to prevent the roti from becoming too dry or cracking.
