Recipe Notes

It should serve hot. Home made is far better than market. Quite sure everybody will appreciate.

Additional Tips

  • For an extra smoky flavor reminiscent of a real tandoor, use metal tongs to briefly expose the cooked side of the roti directly to an open flame after cooking on the tawa, just until it puffs and chars in spots.
  • To keep your rotis soft and pliable, stack them immediately after cooking and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or cloth-lined basket to trap steam.
  • If you prefer a healthier version, substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour; you may need to adjust the amount of water or yogurt to maintain a soft dough consistency.
  • Brush the hot rotis with a light layer of ghee or melted butter and sprinkle with nigella seeds or finely chopped cilantro for added aroma and a beautiful presentation.
