- 1 teaspoon salt: Adjust to taste.
- 1 tablespoon oil or ghee: Optional, for a softer texture.

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of emmer wheat methi masala atta and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee (optional) to the flour mixture for a softer texture.
- Gradually add water, a little at a time, and mix until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized portions (about the size of a golf ball).
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough ball into a thin, round roti.
- Heat a tawa or a flat skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the tawa is hot, place a rolled-out roti onto it.
- Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the roti using tongs or a spatula and cook the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until light brown spots appear.
- For a puffed roti, press gently on the edges with a cloth or spatula to encourage puffing.
- Optionally, you can apply a small amount of ghee or oil on both sides of the roti after cooking.
- Serve the hot rotis immediately with your favorite curry, dal, or sabzi.
