- Next when the water starts boiling add in rice flour, give a quick mix and switch off the stove.
- After switching off the stove, mix it well using a flat spatula, close the lid and keep it aside.
- Once the dough is warm, knead it very well. Squeeze, punch, fold and knead it for five minutes. Better you knead, easy to make rotis.
- Once you are done with the kneading, dust your fingers, pinch and take big lemon sized dough. Again knead the dough using palms and make a soft flat ball.
- Dust the flour and roll the flat balls into thin rotis. Please note you have to be gentle while making this roti.
- Heat the tava or pan and transfer the rolled rotti or roti over the hot pan. Apply water on the roti using a clean and wet cloth. Please note, you need to be gentle and quick.
- Once you start seeing the small bubbles, flip the roti and cook on the other side.
