How to make Tandoori Roti without Tandoori?

Tandoori Roti: When most people hear the word tandoori roti, they assume it requires a tandoor. But that's not the case. If you have a pressure cooker at home, you can make delicious and soft tandoori roti just like the ones in restaurants without a tandoor. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps, and your tandoori roti will be ready.

Ingredients for making Tandoori Roti:

• 2 cups wheat flour
• 1/2 cup flour (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 teaspoon oil
• lukewarm water as needed
• Butter or ghee (for serving)

Prepare the dough like this.

First, combine the flour, refined flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the yogurt and oil. Gradually add the lukewarm water and knead into a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to set.

How to make Tandoori Roti in a cooker?

First, remove the pressure cooker's rubber band and whistle. Heat the empty cooker thoroughly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Now, form a dough ball and roll it out into a slightly thick layer. Apply a little water to one side of the roti. Stick this moistened side to the inner wall of the cooker. Make sure that only the moistened side sticks to the cooker. Cover the cooker and let the roti cook for 1 to 2 minutes. When the roti begins to puff up and is cooked from the top, carefully turn the cooker upside down and place the roti directly towards the flame. This will give the roti light golden and black spots like a tandoor.

Once the roti is cooked, remove it with tongs and apply butter or ghee to it. Prepare the remaining rotis in the same manner.

Keep these things in mind:

• Do not use rubber or whistle in the cooker at all.
• It is important to heat the cooker well first, only then the roti will stick well.
• Apply water evenly on the roti, so that it sticks easily to the wall of the cooker.
• Use tongs while removing the roti so that your hands do not get burnt.
• Serve tandoori roti with hot dal, paneer, chole or any vegetable.

If you don't have a tandoor at home, don't worry. With just a pressure cooker, you can easily make soft, delicious, and restaurant-like tandoori roti at home. This method is not only easy but will also save you time and money.
