Product Information

Yes, you can although, I wouldn't encourage this practice where possible. The roti skins do hold up in a freezer that doesn't produce any freeze burn (ice). Heat a frying pan or tawa on medium-high heat. Make sure the tawa is hot enough then brush off any flour from the surface of the roti dough then place it in the pan. My simple recipe for gluten free roti, or chapati, is made with my wholegrain gluten free atta (or flour blend). They are made with just five ingredients.

If you have celiac disease or are following a gluten-free diet due to gluten intolerance or food allergies, be sure to use only gluten-free flours and ingredients in this recipe. First of all, NOT every single roti skin will puff up. However, you should always see some bubbles in your roti, that is a given. What’s more, I still need to educate people about gluten free flour and flour blends. If you don’t know why they are so important to successful gluten free cooking and baking then read this article: What on Earth is…A Gluten Free Flour Blend? Roti doesn't just play a crucial role in India, due to the indentured Indians that came to the Caribbean, roti is very popular on the islands especially Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. Chapati is unleavened bread, so you don't use any yeast or baking powder. This is one of the main differences between chapati and naan, which is leavened - more about this below. Is chapati like naan?The roti didn't rise even with the use of baking powder. The overall texture was very tough and more like cardboard. I first discovered roti’s when I was in India with my sixth form college. We went over to an orphanage in Goa just after Christmas when I was 16. It blew my mind and I was smitten with Asia from that point onwards. Slice the dough into 4 quarters then roll each piece into a small ball then cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Some may say since gluten-free doesn’t have any gluten in it the kneading won’t make a difference. But in my experience, the longer kneading helps make better chapatis. Once the psyllium husk powder has been mixed with the flour the salt is added (if using) along with the oil and water.

Brown rice flour - this helps to offset any gumminess from using both tapioca starch and cassava flour. Without this the roti would be very chewy and gummy, so do not skip this ingredient!! If you’ve already cooked them, you can reheat them in a microwave or air fryer. It should only take a few seconds. Tips for the perfect gluten free puri Roll out the dough of your roti as thin as possible, if it tears, it's too thin, you want it to be very thin and the texture very soft as this increases the likelihood of swelling.

If you are a beginner then make your roti skins small, small roti is much easier to work with. I like mine quite large but to keep this beginner friendly I purposely made them small (as pictured).

The aforementioned is made into a dough, the dough is then divided into smaller balls that are rolled out quite thin. In short roti is a round flatbread that is made from stoneground wholewheat flour (atta), oil (this is optional) and water. Roll the dough in a ball and cover the dough with a damp cloth or paper towel. Place it somewhere warm for at least 1 hour.Keto chapati follows a few simple basic principles and is ready for the table in only 15 minutes! I offer tips on how to roll and shape the dough to achieve those sought-after perfect circles. Make Dough, Rest, and Roll On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin disc shape, using a floured rolling pin. I’ve been making these gluten free roti for many years and for some reason have never shared the recipe. I guess I thought it was so simple I didn’t need to. Combine everything together and form a dough. Add water slowly, knead the dough for a long time. The more time you spend with the dough the elasticity of the dough will be better. That will later help you roll the chapatis better.
