Recipe Notes

  • The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
  • Cover and rest for at least 20 minutes. This will help the dough easier to roll out.
  • Directly cook the roti over a flame for tandoor char spots.
  • Carefully hold the tawa over the flame for about 30 seconds, or until the roti is cooked through.
  • Be careful not to overcook the roti, or it will become dry and hard.
  • Remove from tawa brush ghee/butter this will make the roti soft and flavourful.
