Ingredients:
1 lbs flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 lbs split peas
3 cloves garlic
2-3 teaspoon ground cumin
Method:
Boil split peas with turmeric, salt and garlic. Do NOT allow to get too soft. Firm but soft enough to flatten with your fingers
Pass through a grinding mill. Make sure there NO whole grains left or these will burst the roti later
Add zeera and salt to taste
Knead flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt, to a soft dough. Rub oil over dough and leave to rest. About an hour should do
Cut dough in to 6-8 pieces
Shape into balls and leave to rest for 15 mins
Flatten the ball in your hand and place about 3 tsp. of the peas then make into a ball again
Heat the baking stone or griddle to no more than medium heat and brush a little vegetable oil on it
Roll out the dough into 8″ circles
Place the roti on the stone and brush with some of the veg. oil. when its starting to brown turn it over and brush again
When the other side is starting to brown it should start to swell
