Pol Roti
Pol roti is a dish that can be made quickly as an evening snack.
Servings 5 rotis
Ingredients
- 1 cup(125g) whole wheat flour(atta)
- 1/2 cup(40g) fresh grated coconut
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/8+1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lukewarm water
- normal water (as needed)
- oil as needed for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- With the half cup of grated coconut add 1/8 th tsp of salt and 1 tsp of oil and mix well. Then add 1 tbsp of luke warm water and mix well sqeezing the coconut. If you have frozen coconuts thaw it and add hot water instead.
- To this add the flour, and the remaining salt. Mix well till it ressembles bread crumbs.
- Then add water as needed to make a smooth dough. I needed around 1/3 rd cup .Rest for half an hour covering with a wet cloth.
- Divide the dough into even sized balls, and flatten it out to thick circles, using a rolling pin. Dust with flour if its sticky. If you want perfect round shapes cut out round shapes from the rolled out dough using a round lid or round cutter. I preferred to keep it as is.
- Heat up a skillet and transfer the rolled out dough onto it. Flip and cook till you see golden specks on both sides. I drizzled the roti with oil, though in Srilanka they don't use oil.
- Serve with Lunumiris, Pol sambol or sonme spicy veg or non-veg gravy.
