Delicious and healthy, this Soy Roti is a great item to add to your
healthy vegetarian meals! Soybeans are rich
in carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and also contain omega-3 fatty acids,
and folic acid.
Soybean flour is available in Indian grocery stores.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the flours, salt, and
enough water to make
a soft, smooth dough. Knead well. Coat with 1 tsp oil and cover and set
aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a tava, iron or nonstick griddle on medium heat.
While the griddle is heating up, divide the dough
into 10 portions and roll each portion between your palms to form a
smooth ball.
Roll each ball with a little oil on a flat surface
until smooth. Roll the ball in flour, flatten, and using a rolling pin,
roll into a thin (approximately) 6-inch round flatbread, using a little
flour if needed.
Place the soy roti on the heated tava. Turn up the
heat
to high, and cook for 10-20 seconds it forms up a bit; turn it over and
cook on the other side, pressing with a spatula gently along the edges
as it puffs up, and cook until the underside is lightly browned. Flip
over and cook until brown spots appear. Brush with a little
oil and cook on both sides for a few seconds and serve the soy roti
immediately, or
place on a
serving platter and cover to keep it soft until ready to serve. Repeat
with the remaining dough balls.
