Oats Roshi ( flatbread)
The flour we purchase is beginning to loose its freshness. Plus I am trying to stretch the amount of flour I use and came up with this roshi or flatbread recipe during the lockdown. Even though this doesn't go very well with curries with gravy but it is nice paired with a dry curry such as my black pepper tuna curry or kulhimas or any other dry curry.
The oats give it a nice nutty taste and its good for you too.
I used half oats and half regular flour. I used quick-cooking oats, which I ground in my spice grinder. Then mixed with flour, salt a little vegetable oil and some hot water. Knead and rest under a damp cloth for about 10 to 20 minutes before rolling it. The resting helps to relax the dough and its easier to roll.

How to cook Oats Roshi
- Place the oats in a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Place in a bowl along with flour, and salt. Mix.
- Make a well in the centre, add oil and gradually add the water, mixing as you go. Once the mix starts to come together, start mixing with your hands.
- Divide the dough into 12 balls and leave to rest under a damp cloth.
- Dust the work surface with a little flour and roll each dough into a thin circle or rough circle.
- Heat a dry frying pan or crepe pan and place a roshi on the frying pan cook one side and then flip to cook the other side.
- Store in a food warmer to keep them warm. Enjoy with some curry.
They turned out really good. I like the idea of using half and half. An awesome flatbread recipe, Nammi.
