Fear of a messy kitchen with flour all over?

This Recipe is for you!

This recipe is perfect for people who have not tried their hands at rolling rotis.
The fear of the long process of kneading the dough and rolling the roti one by one in every shape and size.

This is the latest way of making gluten-free rotis and it totally blew my mind. The result is super soft, fluffy like a ball, kind of rotis with this recipe!! Let me show you how! (and yes, no rolling your sleeves for this recipe)

With the onset of the pandemic, many cooking trends had gone viral. We had the famous TikTok Feta Cheese Pasta and the Tortilla hack and another one that caught my interest were the Parathas made from a liquid dough. Because of its ease of use, I think it’s a great recipe to keep in your back pocket.

Making gluten-free rotis can be intimidating for first-timers. They do not know the correct texture, how to roll and how to cook the rotis properly. This recipe uses oats flour which is a great alternative to wheat and the use of tapioca flour provides a smooth texture to the roti.

Few things to keep in mind when making this roti

The oats flour should be well-grounded for the roti to rise.
Use cornflour instead of tapioca flour.
Heat the skillet well before making the rotis.
Follow instructions as per the recipe to get the perfect result.
