  • Now add boiled water to the bowl containing flour. Mix well with fork and make a dough like you do for chapathi’s. Keep aside for 15 mins.
  • Heat a tawa or chapathi pan. Meanwhile make a equally sized balls out of the dough and roll it into a circular thin roti’s
  • Now cook the roti’s in medium heat. When bubbles starts appearing, apply oil and flip it to the other side.Let the other side also get cooked.
  • Serve with it onion raita or aloo palak or any subzi.
