instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the pineapple. Peel the pineapple and cut it into small pieces, discarding the core. Set aside.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt, mixing well to combine.

    3

    Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading it into a soft dough. It should take about 5 to 7 minutes of kneading time.

    4

    Once the dough is well kneaded, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

    5

    After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls, about the size of a golf ball.

    6

    Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Place some pineapple pieces in the center of the dough.

    7

    Fold the edges of the dough over the pineapple, sealing them well to encase the filling.

    8

    Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat circle, ensuring the pineapple filling does not leak out.

    9

    Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, cook the rolled roti for about 2 minutes on one side.

    10

    Flip it over, brush with a little oil, and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

    11

    Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

    12

    Serve warm, optionally with yogurt or chutney.
