1/4 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
2 tbsp finely chopped onions
1 tsp oil
salt to taste

Method

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and add knead into a stiff dough using enough water.
Knead well and keep covered under a moist muslin cloth for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll out each portion into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle.
Cook each roti lightly on a hot tava (griddle) on both sides.
When you want to serve the rotis, put each roti in a toaster and toast till the roti is golden brown and crisp from both the sides (approx. 2 minutes). Serve immediately topped with butter.

You can alternately toast the roti for a longer duration on a tava if toaster is not available.
