To make urad dal roti with whole wheat flour and cooked urad dal, start by cooking the urad dal and then mash it. Then, mix the cooked dal with whole wheat flour, water, and any desired spices or seasonings to form a dough. Knead the dough well, roll it out into flat circles, and cook on a hot griddle with little oil until golden brown and cooked through.

This variation of urad dal roti offers a unique texture and flavor profile, thanks to the combination of whole wheat flour and cooked urad dal. The addition of urad dal not only enhances the nutritional value of the roti but also adds a rich and earthy taste to the dish.

Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a side of vegetables, curries, or chutneys, urad dal roti made with whole wheat flour and cooked urad dal is a delicious and wholesome meal option that is sure to satisfy your taste buds and nourish your body.

Pro tips for urad dal roti. 1. In a bowl put 1/2 cup soaked and boiled urad dal (split black lentils). Soaking and cooking the urad dal significantly softens the beans. This creates a soft and easily mashed consistency, perfect for incorporating into the dough. This soft dal paste acts as a natural binding agent, helping the dough hold its shape during rolling and cooking. 2. Add 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour, with its gluten content, helps create a stronger and more elastic dough that can be rolled out thinly without tearing. This is important for achieving the characteristic shape and texture of a roti.

dough for urad dal roti
  1. In a bowl put 1/2 cup soaked and boiled urad dal (split black lentils).  Soaking and cooking the urad dal significantly softens the beans. This creates a soft and easily mashed consistency, perfect for incorporating into the dough. This soft dal paste acts as a natural binding agent, helping the dough hold its shape during rolling and cooking.
  2. Add 1/4 cup plain flour (maida). The gluten in maida flour contributes to a more elastic dough. This elasticity makes the dough easier to roll out thinly and evenly, which is important for achieving well-cooked and uniformly textured rotis. To pack this roti with fiber and essential nutrients, we've used 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour instead of plain flour. 
  3. Add 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour, with its gluten content, helps create a stronger and more elastic dough that can be rolled out thinly without tearing. This is important for achieving the characteristic shape and texture of a roti. To pack this roti with fiber and essential nutrients, we've used 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour instead of plain flour.
  4. Add 2 tsp coconut oil or  oil. A small amount of oil helps to soften the dough, making it more pliable and easier to roll out thinly. Use coconut oil for a healthier diet.
  5. Add 1/4 tsp carom seeds (ajwain). Carom seeds have a warm, slightly spicy, and somewhat earthy aroma and flavor. When added to the urad dal roti dough, they contribute a subtle yet distinctive taste that complements the savory richness of the urad dal (black gram).
  6. Add 1 tsp finely chopped green chillies. Urad dal rotis are a staple food in many Indian households. Green chillies can add a touch of heat without overpowering the delicate flavor of the urad dal (black gram lentil) flour.
  7. Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi).
  8. Add 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania). Coriander leaves have a bright, fresh, and slightly citrusy flavor profile. When incorporated into the dough, they add a pleasant and uplifting aroma to the roti.
  9. Add salt to taste. We added 1/4th tsp salt.
  10. Add enough water to make a soft dough. We added 2 tablespoons water.
  11. Knead into a soft dough.
