Instructions
Step 1
To begin making the Parsi Rotli recipe, first bring all the ingredients together and we will make the dough
Step 2
In a large bowl combine the flour and salt; add the milk and a little water at a time to make firm dough
Step 3
Add a teaspoon of oil to coat the dough and knead until smooth
Step 4
Set the dough aside to rest covered for 15 minutes
Step 5
Knead once again and divide the dough into equal portions
Step 6
Preheat the iron skillet on medium low heat
Step 7
Roll the portions of rotli dough into balls; flatten these balls with the palm of your hand
Step 8
Take a portion of the rotli dough, toss it on the flour and roll out into thin circles to approximately 6 inches in diameter
Step 9
As you roll them out, you can keep tossing the dough in dry flour while rolling; this will prevent it from getting sticky when rolling them out
Step 10
Place rolled dough on the hot skillet
Step 11
In a few seconds you will notice that small air pockets start to form
Step 12
At this point flip the rolled dough to the other side on the skillet
Step 13
Press the rotli with a folded kitchen napkin
Step 14
Keep pressing on the surface of the rotli until it completely puffs up
Step 15
This has to be done on low flame to ensure there are no brown spots
Step 16
Remove the rotli from heat, place it on a flat plate and optionally spread little ghee on the side facing up
Step 17
Serve Parsi Rotli along with Ringan Ravaiya Recipe (Parsi Style Stuffed Eggplant Recipe) and Iranian Berry Pulao Recipe With Caramelized Onion & Cranberry for a simple Parsi meal
