- 2 cups atta (Indian whole wheat flour)

Instructions
- Mix the flour and water in a large bowl - add more water if too dry. Knead until smooth, then cover and let dough rest 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 2mm thick and 6-inches wide. Dust the discs with extra flour to keep them from sticking, and keep covered until ready to cook.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Cook rotis one at a time until you see bubbles forming on the top. Flip and cook the other side until you see brown spots on the bottom.

These rotis are a must-try! They are only two ingredients and are a great healthy alternative to having naan with your Indian meals.
Hi everyone, how are you all doing? It's been ages since I've added new recipes here to Instant Veg. I guess the nature of blogging is sometimes that you reach a point of "smooth sailing" and you can focus your attention on other things. I was focused on other projects for almost six months – until one day a few weeks ago.
I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw a post about asking if anyone would like to try out a new cookbook for 5 ingredient Indian recipes. This immediately caught my attention because I have been wanting to learn to make more Indian recipes for ages, but have been too intimidated to jump into a whole new cuisine.
I'm so grateful that the author of the cookbook, Meena Agarwal of Hooked On Heat, sent me a copy of her new cookbook to try. It's called The Easy 5 Ingredient Indian Cookbook – 75 Classic Indian Recipes Made Simple.
Each recipe in the book has some information about the food including what region of India it comes from and what other foods you can pair it with.
What Are Rotis?
Rotis, also known as chapatis, are flat unleavened bread made from whole-wheat flour and eaten as a mealtime staple with other foods in India. They look very similar to flour tortillas, except that instead of being made with white flour where the husk of the wheat has been removed, they are made with whole wheat flour.
We decided to try the recipe for rotis, since it's only two ingredients and it's one of those foods I've heard of (and probably eaten at a restaurant before) but never made at home.
Everyone loved the rotis, even my kids who were initially disappointed when I said we weren't having naan. They gobbled the rotis up!
We also made the aloo palak from the book and it was a hit. I think this is a fantastic cookbook for beginners and am excited to try every recipe in it.
Two Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are simply water and atta flour. Atta is a whole wheat flour that's a bit more finely ground than the whole wheat flour typically sold at the grocery store here in America. I happened to have a very large quantity of atta at home (thanks, Costco) that I needed to use up so this recipe was perfect.
In America you can buy atta at stores such as Lotté Market, Costco, and local Indian food markets. Blending whole wheat flour in a high-speed blender for about a minute to make it more fine might also work if you can't find atta anywhere.
Below I have summarized the recipe from the book in my own words. I hope you'll try it and, if you like it, check out the book!
