What is dosti roti?

Dosti (do-stee) Dosti in Hindi means friend.

Roti - is the cooking of two pieces of dough together. Made with the same dough as the other roti(s) - all purpose flour, salt, baking powder along with a pinch of salt and sugar. The kneaded dough once rested for 30 minutes is then divided into equal pieces, in an even number.

For example, dough divided into 8 pieces will make 4 roti (s) because Dosti Roti is a double roti.
Each piece of dough is brushed with oil or ghee and then pressed together to make a pair. After resting for a few minutes, the roti is cooked on a hot cast iron griddle, and is brushed with oil or ghee as it cooks. It is eaten with curries and chokas or it can be eaten as is.
