  • About

A soft dough made with strong white bread flour, ghee and warm water is what makes this Assamese flat bread, Moidar Sukan Ruti, so different from any other. They are dry-roasted like chapatis, but because of the fat content, they are softer and can be re-heated without drying out. They are the perfect partner for curries.

Ingredients

  • 400 g/14 oz/3⅓ cups strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 5

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour and salt, then rub in the ghee or butter using your fingertips.

  2. Gradually add the water and mix until a soft dough is formed.

  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it is soft and smooth.
