What is Roti made of?

“Roti,” is a type of unleavened flatbread commonly consumed in South Asian countries, particularly in Sri Lanka. Roti is a staple food and is typically made from whole wheat flour, Coconut, water, and salt. Sometimes, oil or butter is added to enhance flavor and texture.

The preparation involves kneading the dough, dividing it into small portions, rolling each portion into a flat, round shape, and then cooking it on a hot griddle. Roti is often served as an accompaniment to various dishes like curries, vegetables, or lentils.

While the process itself is not overly complicated, achieving the right consistency and texture in the roti might take a bit of practice. but don’t worry that’s where the expertise of our host and the chef come in. The key is to get the dough to the right consistency, roll it evenly, and cook it on a hot surface to achieve the characteristic puffiness.

Roti, being a basic unleavened flatbread made primarily from whole wheat flour, coconut, water, and salt, is generally considered a staple in many diets and is suitable for a wide range of consumers. However, there are maybe dietary considerations and restrictions the consumers may have to check with their dietician.
