Ingredients
- 400g plain flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 20g sugar
- 40g margarine
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- Oil or ghee for greasing and cooking
Method
Put flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Rub in margarine and mix egg and the rest of the ingredients well to form a soft dough. Leave to rest for 20-30 minutes.
Divide dough into 10 pieces. Roll into balls and rub oil or margarine lightly over each ball. Keep the balls in a container and leave aside.
Grease a marble slab. Press and flatten the balls of dough with your palm on the slab. Use your fingers to make each ball very thin.
Twirl the flattened dough until it becomes thin. Fold the sides to the centre. Flatten the dough again.
Place on a hot griddle and cook slowly over a low heat. Turn over dough and spread more oil when needed to brown both sides of the roti.
