Notes
Atta is Indian wheat flour. It is a bit different than American whole wheat flour. It has less protein, which means it has less gluten. Therefore, the resulting roti using American whole wheat flour will be a bit softer.
For the authentic taste and consistency, find Indian atta at Indian markets.
