- Now make 25-27 gram balls each,
- Then start rolling the roti, using a rolling board and rolling pin. Move the rolling pin lengthwise across the dough applying gentle pressure as you roll.
- If you are rolling it correctly, the dough will move in circular motion on its own and the roti will roll evenly.
- Heat the tawa (skillet) on medium-high heat. Make sure the tawa is hot enough before you place the roti on the tawa.
- Dust excess flour off the rolled roti and place it on the hot tawa. cook 30 secs each sides
- Now, remove the roti from the tawa using a tong and place it directly on flame with the first side (which was little less cooked) directly on the flame.
- The roti if rolled evenly will puff up, flip with a tong to cook the other side as well. The roti is done when it has brown spots, don’t burn it.
