Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)

a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1/2 cup low-fat milk , 99.7% fat-free
salt to taste

Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), combine the fennel seeds, cumin seeds, carom seeds and peppercorns on it and lightly roast them. Cool slightly and blend them in a mortar-pestle (khalbhatta) to a coarse powder.
Combine the whole wheat flour, prepared powder, asafoetida, milk and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water. Knead well.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a circle of 150 mm. (6") diameter using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (gridle) and cook each roti using ¼ tsp of oil, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Serve immediately.
