How to Make Toti Roti (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Toti Roti is a beloved staple of Malaysian Indian cuisine, known for its simplicity, versatility, and comfort. Rooted in the South Indian heritage brought by early communities, Toti Roti is a soft, round flatbread made with wheat flour and traditionally served with dhal or vegetable curry. In Malaysia, it's commonly enjoyed in mamak stalls and homes across the country, reflecting our multicultural food scene. The dish is naturally vegetarian and can be easily adapted to various dietary preferences. What makes Toti Roti special in Malaysia is the use of local ingredients and flavors, such as a dash of ghee or a sprinkle of daun kari (curry leaves) in accompanying curries. The soft, chewy texture pairs beautifully with robust curries, making it a satisfying yet light lunch option. Not only is it filling, but it's also a healthier alternative to fried breads, especially when prepared with minimal oil and wholemeal atta flour. This Toti Roti recipe is perfect for those seeking a wholesome, traditional meal while keeping their calorie count in check.

Arahan
- 1
In a large bowl, mix wholemeal atta flour and salt. Gradually add water, kneading to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
5 minutes
Add water slowly to avoid sticky dough; knead until smooth for soft roti.
- 2
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
10 minutes
Resting allows gluten to relax, making the roti easier to roll and softer when cooked.
- 3
Divide dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle (about 15 cm diameter).
5 minutes
Use minimal flour to avoid making the roti dry.

Heat a non-stick tawa or flat pan over medium-high heat. Place a rolled roti and cook for 40-60 seconds until bubbles form, then flip.
2 minutes
Press gently with a clean cloth for even puffing.
