Notes

For the homemade multigrain flour - I use the below combination:

3 cups of Wheat flour
⅓ cup of Ragi flour
⅓ cup of Jowar flour
⅓ cup of Bajra flour

You can also add fenugreek powder (1 tsp) and soybean flour (2 to 3 tbsp) if desired (it only adds additional benefits).

To make soft fluffy chapati (roti) you have to knead the dough with enough water to be soft and smooth yet not sticky. Also, ensure the pan is hot before adding your rotis. Else cooking the rotis on low flame for a longer time will turn them hard.

You can smear ghee at the end if desired.

I make the rotis only on tawa. To make multigrain phulkas (rotis that puff up like pooris and are cooked directly over flame), simply cook one side on the tawa and cook the other side directly over the flame with the help of tongs.
