When ever ,we all wanted to had some special breakfast ,Mummy served us meethi roti with salty butter and egg fry. That was the breakfast we always wanted to have ... happily. Even now my family jumps with joy when i say that 'I am going to cook meethi roti for breakfast.
so guys...try this recipe of Meethi Roti... you are going to fall in love with it.
For Meethi Roti you will need
- Sugar-1cup
- Whole wheat flour-4 cup(full)
- Refined oil-2 table spoon
- Water-1 cup
- Salt-1/2 t.s
- Ajwain(trachyspermum ammi)-1/4 tea spoon
- Butter(salty)to apply on Indian bread (Roti)

How to do
Make a solution of sugar, salt in the above mentioned 1/2 cup of water.
Mix well wheat flour , refined oil and ajwainin and knead the flour in prepared lukewarm solution of salt and sugar . Please remember dough should be soft enough to roll a roti,.....you can add some milk to knead soft dough....with hard sweet dough ... it would be difficult for you to roll roti.
Make medium size balls out of the dough. Dough will be little sticky due to sugar so apply little more dry flour on the balls, then roll a roti.

In between heat the pan(tawa) on the medium flame. Put the meethi roti on -tawa. Cook it well on the low flame till the roti gets light pink .![]() |
