Whole Wheat Tortilla recipe | Mexican Tortilla | No Lard or Baking Powder

Hi friends,welcome to madhu samayal
Mexican Recipe -Tortillas
Tortilla is staple food in Mexico
Tortilla is Flatbread.Vary in sizes
Traditionally Tortillas are prepared with corn or maida
flour .But today i am using whole wheat flour(Healthier version)
Homemade tortillas are healthy and soft too
I am sharing a vegetarian version(No Lard is
used which is pig fat)
Today we can see Tortilla without lard or baking powder
But yet very soft Tortilla
3cups of whole wheat flour
salt as needed
mix well
olive oil 3tbs
this fat helps tortilla to be soft
you can store tortillas in fridge or freezer too
i will share how to store in fridge at the end of video
mix well .It should get crumbly texture
very important step
when you hold and press it ,you should get shape
and it should break into powders when broken
hot boiling water to knead dough
use wooden spatula and mix well
add little by little water and knead carefully
without adding more water else it turns sticky
still some dry flour when you touch it.so adding some water
touch and feel the consistency before adding further water
at each stage
no dry flour when touched and can form shapes too
close it till it gets luke warm to handle it in hands
knead well and form dough
soft dough is formed .Add little drops of olive oil
let it sit for 15mins
Always store the cooked tortillas wrapped well in cotton cloth
and then keep in hot box .This helps to retain softness and not soggy
after 15mins,knead well and divide into equal balls
you can do tortilla as your desired sizes.I am making small
sized tortilla
dust wheat flour to prevent stickiness
spread as round not so thick or so thin
To make exact equal round ,you can even use moulds to cut
or tiffin box lid to cut as round shape effortlessly
repeat the process with the rest of the dough
cook both sides in high to medium flame without adding oil
dont cook in low flame .It turns hard.Flip often to
prevent from turning hard
wipe off the flour before you cook next tortillas each time
to prevent burning of leftover flour in tawa
stack each cooked tortillas in cloth
Soft tortillas ready
many recipes are prepared with this tortillas or you can
simply eat this with gravy
store this tortillas in zip lock bags by keeping parchment
paper in between each tortillas.Keep in fridge for 10 to 20 days
or in freezer for 6months.Anyways have it fresh for healthy
Thank you friends
