Missi roti recipe – A popular Punjabi roti recipe with a combination of gram flour, whole wheat flour, and spices. No onion no garlic Missi roti recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
Next to naan and Tandoori roti, missi roti is a popular Indian flatbread. It is a very popular dish in Punjabi and Rajasthani cuisine. Usually, we make Indian flatbread with whole wheat flour and the Naan is made using plain flour. This one is a mix of whole wheat flour and gram flour, also called kadalai maavu in Tamil and besan in Hindi.
We can pair this with any North Indian-style gravy or a simple dal. I tasted missi rotis in dhabas when we did a road trip from Delhi to Haridwar a few years back. Also, I tasted this in Jaipur many years back. They serve mini missi rotis, smeared with a generous dollop of butter on the top. It comes out soft but personally I feel, it should be served hot. I have posted a video on methi missi roti recipe in Jeyashris kitchen.

Hey there,
I saw this post today on Food Gawker and thought to myself I should try it.
Made these rottis with my little 11 yr old sister for lunch today. At first I struggled alot with the batter 'cause I'm don't know how to make even the plain rottis (it is a shame considering that I'm 22 and this is a staple food where we live, haha). For my first rottis ever all on my own they went quite well, Thanks
Anyhow at the end it turned out nice, looked almost the same as the pictures on this blog and the taste was nice. We had a spicy cauliflower with it but I loved it simply with yogurt and mango+carrot pickles.
[PS: can you give me a tip on how to regulate the batter when it gets too sticky?]
Hey thanks for trying out and even i started making perfect rotis after marriage with lots of trial and error.
When it turns out sticky add little flour and a tsp of oil and knead again.
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind
So I think it never too late to start on rottis then. If I start now I'll get them right someday =D I'll start practicing. Don't care it the kitchen is a floury mess each time, haha
Thank You =D
