Tandoori Roti Without Tandoor

Ingredients 

Whole Wheat Flour - 1 Cup
Active dry Yeast - 4 grams (1 tbsp)
Salt - 1/2 tbsp
Sugar - 1/3 tbsp
Olive oil- 1 tbsp

Procedure

1. Warm 1/2 cup of water in a microwave (I did it for 30 second) and dissolve the yeast and let it rest for 5 minutes
2. In a mixing bowl take the wheat flour, sugar, salt and olive oil. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
3. Now add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and make a soft (not sticky) dough
4. Keep it aside for proofing at warm place for 1 hour, until the the dough has doubled in size
5. Take the dough out and punch it to remove all the air and knead for 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit of wheat flour and knead again until if is soft and non-sticky
6. Make balls out of the dough and keep it covered with a wet towal.

How to Tandoor on Tawa

1. Heat the iron tawa on a high flame for few minutes.
2. Roll the dough balls into thick chapati
3. Take little bit of water in your palm and apply on one side of the chapati. Do it 2 to 3 times until water is being applied all over 
4. Now remove the chapati from the rolling board and put the wet side on the hot TAWA. This will help the roti to stick to the tawa. Let it cook on one side for a minute or until you see it bubbles up
5. Now hold the tawa upside down on the flame and let the tandoori roti cook on medium flame for a minutes or until it is done (See the figure below).

Once done remove the Tandoori Roti from the tawa and serve hot with your favorite curry!!!
