Mix well.
Gradually add little by little water and mix well.
Bring all dough together and knead into a semi stiff dough.
Add remaining oil .
Knead and smoothen the dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
The white spots will appear on the dough. Dough has rested well.
Divide the dough into equal portions.
Take one portion. Roll into a ball and flatten on the rolling board. Dust with wheat flour.
With the help of rolling pin roll into 10 cm diameter circle of 2mm thickness.
Gently lift the rolled circle and put on the heated flat pan or tava on medium heat.
When the bubbles appear flip the roti on another side with flat spatula.
Press and cook and flip on another side. Press and cook flipping in between on medium to high heat till golden brown spots appear.
Apply around 1/2 tsp ghee on the top surface.
The mint missi roti is ready. Remove it on the plate and serve hot.
Similarly make the remaining mint missi roti and serve with curry of your choice. It can be simply enjoyed with tea in the morning breakfast or can be enjoyed with raita or yogurt and pickle.
