Roll the Rotis
Cook the Gud Rotis
Serve
Add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped almonds, pistachios, or cashews to the dough for a crunchy texture.
Mix in 3 tablespoons of desiccated coconut into the flour mixture for a different texture and a subtle sweet flavor.
Add a pinch of nutmeg powder or a 1/4 teaspoon of dry ginger powder (sonth) to the dough for extra warmth and aroma.
The combination of complex carbohydrates from whole wheat and simple sugars from jaggery provides a sustained release of energy, making it a great snack.
Jaggery is an unrefined sugar that retains molasses, making it a good plant-based source of iron, which is essential for healthy blood cells.
Fennel seeds (saunf) are well-known for their digestive properties. They can help reduce indigestion, bloating, and gas, making this treat easier on the stomach.
Gud Roti is a healthier alternative to sweets made with refined sugar. Whole wheat flour provides fiber, and jaggery contains minerals like iron and magnesium. However, it is calorie-dense due to jaggery and ghee, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
One Gud Roti (approximately 75g) contains around 220-250 calories, depending on the amount of ghee used. This recipe makes 8 rotis.
Yes, you can use an equal amount of packed brown sugar as a substitute, but the authentic, earthy flavor comes from jaggery. The texture might also be slightly different.
Store them in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil at room temperature for up to 2 days. To serve, reheat on a warm tawa for a few seconds on each side to soften them.
This can happen if the dough was too stiff, it wasn't rested enough, or it was rolled too thin and cooked for too long on high heat. Ensure the dough is pliable, rested, and the rotis are rolled slightly thick.
