the missi roti recipe is extremely simple and unique, yet some tips and suggestions. firstly, in this recipe, i have used the equal amount of besan and wheat flour and this can be altered as per your preference. i personally recommend not to increase the quantity of besan flour as compared to wheat flour. secondly, these rotis can be prepared well ahead in advance and can be served by just reheating when it is required. because we have added besan, it keeps the roti soft in texture. lastly, do not forget to add ajwain as it helps to counterbalance the indigestion problems from chickpea flour.
