Rice Roti - Gluten Free
Rice roti is a wonderful gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat-based roti, perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). As rice is a low FODMAP food, this recipe is gentle on the digestive system, making it an excellent choice for individuals following a low FODMAP diet.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice flour
- 2 cups water
- Salt to taste
Method:
- Boil Water: In a deep pan, heat 2 cups of water and add salt to taste. Bring it to a boil.
- Add Rice Flour: Gradually add the rice flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Cook Mixture: Cook the mixture on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, continuing to stir continuously.
- Form Dough: Transfer the mixture to a large plate (thali) and allow it to cool slightly. Using wet hands, knead the mixture into a soft dough.
- Shape Rotis: Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch diameter roti, using a little rice flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook on Tava: Heat a nonstick tava (griddle) over medium flame. Place a rolled roti on the hot tava and cook for a few seconds on each side.
- Cook on Open Flame: Finish cooking the roti on an open flame, flipping to ensure both sides are evenly cooked.
- Serve Hot: Serve the rice roti hot with your favorite sabzi (vegetable curry) or any dish of your choice.
