Directions
Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside. Whisk water and egg replacer. Mix egg replacer, soy milk and canola oil in a large bowl.
Add flour mixture to soymilk mixture and stir until dough forms a ball. Knead briefly, place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 2½ to 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Lightly oil baking sheets. Sauté garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes. Set aside.
Lightly coat hands with vegetable oil and knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball with hands, roll into an oval about 3/8" thick and stretch ends to form a teardrop shape (wide at base and tapering to a point on top).
Place on baking sheets and brush with garlic oil. Bake on middle rack for 6 to 8 minutes.
HINT:
After baking, place under broiler to brown.
Comments
The recipe calls for 2 tspns baking Soda and 1 tspn of cream of tartar. Normal mix for Baking Powder is 1 of Baking Soda and 2 of cream of tartar. Is this a typo?
Just checked a few same Indian recipes, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 teaspoon cream of tartar are right, in this recipe the ratio of baking soda and cream of tartar is 2:1, enjoy!
