Today, I tried to make some coconut roti, and guess what? It’s gluten-free! I was looking for something new to eat and stumbled upon this recipe. I’ve been trying to avoid gluten lately, so this was perfect. First, I gathered all the ingredients. Needed some coconut flour, shredded coconut, a bit of salt, and warm water. That’s it, really basic stuff.
I started by mixing the dry ingredients in a big bowl. I love how coconut flour smells, it’s so fragrant! After that, I gradually added the warm water while mixing everything together. It took a bit of time to get the right consistency. I had to make sure the dough wasn’t too sticky or too dry. It was kind of a balancing act, you know?
Once the dough was ready, I let it rest for a few minutes. While waiting, I heated up my old non-stick pan. I didn’t use any oil because the coconut already has natural oils. Then, I divided the dough into small balls and flattened each one into a thin circle. It was a bit tricky to get them perfectly round, but hey, who cares as long as they taste good, right?
I cooked each roti for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You gotta watch them closely so they don’t burn. They started to get these nice golden-brown spots, which looked really appetizing. The smell of cooking coconut filled my kitchen, and it was heavenly.
- First try, some were a bit too thick, but I got the hang of it.
- Made a small batch first to test it out.
- Next time, I’ll try adding some spices for a different flavor.
Finally, I took them off the heat and let them cool a little. They were soft and had a slight chewiness to them. I ate them with some homemade curry, and it was a match made in heaven. Seriously, the combination was incredible. This coconut roti is definitely a keeper. I’m so glad I tried this out. It’s easy, delicious, and a great alternative for anyone avoiding gluten.
Honestly, cooking is a great way to relax and enjoy simple things in life. You should try this recipe sometime. It’s super easy, even for those who aren’t great in the kitchen!
