Take the wheat flour, salt, ghee and spices in a large bowl and mix well . Add the water little by little and knead to form a firm dough . Set aside , covered for at least 15 minutes upto a couple of hours .
Heat a skillet and pre heat the broiler and have it waiting .
Divide the dough into 3 to 4 equal portions . Take one portion and roll out into a disc about 1/8" thickness . Using a sharp knife make a few shallow gashes all over . Flip the disc. Create a pattern all over the circle using a pair of tongs or fingers .
Oil the hot skillet lightly and place the disc on top . The design side should face up . Cook partially till the color of the dough changes slightly. By now light brown spots should be forming in the bottom. Smear a little oil on top of the roti and transfer to a cookie sheet with the design side up .
Place the cookie sheet about 4" away from the broiler and cook for a minute or so till the tops begin to brown. Transfer to the serving dish . Repeat with the remaining pieces .
Serve warm.
Notes
The half cooked roti can be flipped and cooked fully on the stove top as well .
