  • Divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions and shape them into balls.
    Shaping dough into balls
  • Lightly dust a rolling surface with dry flour. Roll out each ball into a thick roti (slightly thicker than a regular chapati, about 5-6 inches in diameter).
    Rolling dough into roti
  • Heat a tawa (griddle) or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa and cook for 30-40 seconds, or until bubbles start forming. Flip the roti and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Apply ghee or oil lightly on top. Flip again, pressing gently with a spatula, and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
