How to make roti

Method:

1.       ++Mix flour, salt, and water to make soft dough, adding water as needed. Knead the dough for about 1 minute on a lightly greased surface to make it smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside at least ten minutes.

2.       ++Divide the dough into four equal parts. Make smooth balls and press flat. Before rolling the roti press both sides of the ball on a dry floured surface to make them easy to roll.

3.       ++Roll to form a six inch diameter circle. Use just enough dry flour to roll the roti, as too much flour will make them dry. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust the rotis with dry flour.

4.      ++ Heat an iron or heavy skillet on medium high heat. To test, sprinkle a few drops of water on the skillet. If the water sizzles right away, the skillet is ready. Place the one roti into the skillet. When the roti starts to change the color and start puffing flip it over. There will be some golden brown spots.

5.      ++ Flip again after a few seconds. Using a flat spatula, press lightly on the puffed parts of the roti. This will help the roti puff up. Flip the roti again, until it has light golden-brown spots on both sides.

6.       ++Repeat the same process for the remaining rotis. Butter the roti, the side that is facing the skillet.

7.      ++ Place the rotis in a container lined with a paper towel. Cover the container after each roti.

Recipe Notes:

Roti can be kept outside for upto 2 days wrapped in aluminum foil or in a closed container. For later use, roti can be refrigerated for 5-6 days. Re-heat in a skillet.
