Ingredients
Wheat Flour
2 cups (Sifted)
Ghee
2 tablespoons (Melted)
Salt
1 teaspoon (Mixed with flour)
Mint Leaves
1 cup (Ground to a paste)
Water
As needed (For kneading)

Instructions
1
Start by sifting together the wheat flour and salt in a large mixing bowl to ensure a light and airy texture.
2
Add two tablespoons of ghee to the flour mixture, rubbing it evenly with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it is firm and pliable. You may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the consistency of your flour.
4
Incorporate the ground mint paste into the dough, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Knead for a few more minutes.
5
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes; this allows the gluten to relax for easier rolling.
6
After resting, divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball with your palm.
7
Flatten each ball slightly, then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a round shape, maintaining an even thickness.
8
Heat a griddle or tava over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled roti on the griddle.
9
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming. Flip it over and apply a little ghee on the cooked side.
10
Cook the other side for another minute or until golden brown, making sure to apply ghee as necessary for a crisp finish.
11
Repeat the process for the remaining rotis, keeping finished ones warm in a cloth.
12
Serve the hot Mint Rotis with your choice of raita or curry for a delightful meal.
