Step-by-Step Preparation
- Measure 190 ml (about 3/4 cup) warm water for Coriander Whole-Wheat Roti; begin with three quarters, then add the remainder by the tablespoon so the dough or batter does not become slack.
- Combine ground coriander with the flour before kneading in water. Mix with the heat off for 1–2 minutes, lifting from the bottom until the ingredients are uniform and no clumps remain.
- Cover the dough for fifteen minutes and roll small even discs. Aim for an even 2–3 mm thickness; repair cracks before the piece reaches the hot surface.
- Preheat the griddle over medium heat for 6 minutes; a drop of water should skitter briefly and evaporate before the first bread goes on.
- Cook the discs until spotted, turning once, and brush sparingly. Hold the griddle at medium heat and allow 2–3 minutes on the first face and 1–2 minutes after turning, until the surface looks dry, brown freckles appear, and the center springs back.
- For Coriander Whole-Wheat Roti, stack the cooked breads under a clean cloth for 4 minutes so steam softens their surfaces; serve them warm rather than holding them on the griddle.

Vaidya Culinary Note (original lacto-vegetarian recipe developed for the R3 regional and practical cooking collection)
Coriander Whole-Wheat Roti is a freshly cooked flatbread intended to be eaten warm Vata: brush lightly with ghee and pair with a moist vegetable. Pitta: keep pungent fillings modest and avoid hard charring. Kapha: roll it thin, use little fat, and choose one modest bread.
