Aata turning dark

Salam,

I have this problem whenever I make the dough and keep it it turns dark. I usually make dough in small quantities which gets over in 2 times but even then it turns dark.

I have a toddler and another on the way I would like to know if you guys’ know of any tips or tricks so that I am able to make dough that will last me at least 3-4 days without turning dark.

I use Sawarna aata (no maida mixed, stone ground) and I also wrap the aata in cling film. I make a dough ball, apply a little oil / butter all over, wrap in cling film and keep in covered tupperware or glass bowl.

I do use warm/hot water to make the dough in my stand mixer.

It doesnt matter...as long as it doesnt go bad...

When u make the roti, it will be normal...not discolored.

It could be the atta type u're using....maybe?

I use medium (mixed ) atta .... Is ures full brown?

Does anyone mix anything aside from the usual salt and oil?

Someone uses dahi? What is the purpose behind that?

Rotis and parathas are softer
