- 1
First things first, grab 2 cups of instant oats and toss them in a blender.
- 2
Blitz them into a fine, flour-like texture because we're about to make something magical happen.
- 3
Once you've got that smooth oat flour, transfer it into a big mixing bowl and season it with a pinch of salt.
- 4
Mix it up so everything is evenly distributed—nothing fancy, just a quick stir.
- 5
Now comes the fun part: slowly pour in 1 cup of hot water.
- 6
Yep, hot water is the secret sauce here because oats are gluten-free, and this helps them come together beautifully.
- 7
Add it bit by bit, mixing as you go.
- 8
Use the back of a spoon or your hands—just let it cool a bit if you're going hands-on.
- 9
Once it starts to feel like dough, throw in a teaspoon of ghee for that extra softness and a touch of richness.
- 10
Knead it into a nice, smooth dough, then let it chill for 5-10 minutes.
- 11
This downtime makes the dough way easier to handle.
- 12
Divide the rested dough into lemon-sized balls—it's time to roll!
- 13
Dust your surface with a little oat flour to prevent sticking.
- 14
Take one dough ball and roll it out as thin as you can.
- 15
Pro tip: If it's cracking around the edges (oats don't have gluten, so it happens), use a lid to trim the rolled dough into a perfect circle.
- 16
Waste not, want not—just reuse the scraps for the next one.
- 17
Heat up your cast-iron tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 18
When it's nice and hot, slap a rolled-out roti on there.
- 19
Let it cook for a few seconds until you see bubbles forming on the surface.
- 20
Flip it, brush on a little ghee or oil, and keep flipping and pressing it gently with a spatula until both sides are golden brown and slightly charred in spots.
- 21
That's when you know it's done.
- 22
Repeat with the rest of your dough balls.
- 23
And boom—your oats rotis are ready to go!
- 24
They're soft, slightly nutty, and pair perfectly with pretty much anything—tangy tomato chutney, creamy yogurt dips, or a spicy curry if you're feeling extra.
