Gluten Free Rice Flour Savoury Roti
2 cups rice flour
1 cup grated coconut
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh green coriander
1/4 inch fresh ginger, chopped very finely/minced
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin powder
6 tsp vegetable oil
Mix all the ingredients together and make a soft dough by adding water bit by bit or beaten yogurt. If you're using commercially made yogurt make it a bit thinner by adding water.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
Preheat a non stick frying pan on a medium heat. Pour a little oil into the pan. Now press out one portion of the dough into a round shape with your fingers on the pan itself. Make the dough circle a 1/4 inch thick.
Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Serve hot with butter, chutney or tomato sauce.
Gluten Free Chapati
1 cup chickpea flour
1/3 cup water
2 tblsp arrowroot, powdered
1 tblsp light vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
olive oil or butter
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Roll into 1inch round balls and pat flat.
With a rolling pin, roll flattened dough balls into thin rounds.
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan (cast iron recommended) until very hot. Reduce heat to medium high and heat each round for 1-2 minutes on each side, until warmed and slightly browned. Brush with butter or olive oil and serve hot (store extras in the fridge).
Gluten Free Tortillas
1/2 cup Brown Rice Flour
1/2 cup Rice Flour
1/2 cup Potato Starch Flour
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
1 Tblsp Xantham Gum
3 Tblsp Shortening
3/4 cup Hot Water
In a large bowl, combine the flous, xantham gum and salt. Add shortening and rub in until crumbly like breadcrumbs, as if you're making scones. Add water and stir with a spoon. Form into a ball with your hands.
Divide the dough into 12 balls. Press with a rolling pin, with lightly oiled plastic wrap on both the top and bottom of the dough. Heat a large frypan, until a droplet of water dropped on it crackles. Cook tortillas until bubbles form and the bottoms are lightly browned. Turn and cook the other side.

ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is Shortening??
The shortening I use is Trex which is available from most supermarets and is handy for making pastry too :)
