Re: How do you get rotis round and soft?
Help!
Why do my rotti's break/crack in the middle once they're made..
They come out crispy after I've made them.. What's up with that?
Re: How do you get rotis round and soft?
Its somewhere problem in kneading. Knead it into a smooth dough and dont make it very hard. Sometimes when dough is not smooth it may have some lumps in it that also crack the roti

Re: How do you get rotis round and soft?
I don't know why after 8 years of R&D since this thread was opened, no one has come up with a simple, yet elegant solution.
Just make the roti approximately circular. Use a circular ring. The ring dimensions shall be as follows:
Height > 2X of desired roti thickness.
inner diameter Di = desired roti diameter
Outer diameter Do : Do - Di > 2mm ( to ensure edge of roti is smooth)
Ring material - preferably SS.
Procedure:
Make roti best you can. Press ring on roti with pressure in the 2 to 5 psi range. Scrape off excess. Mix excess with dough. Repeat.

the first tiem u throw the roti onto the tawa.. as soon as u see edges changing in color, flip over and cook the side completely... sometimes if u dont make that first flip, rotis can go hard ....
Yes I 'cook' the rotis on both sides well and then I don't press themm what I do it take them off the tawa and I put them on a round grill on my electric stove, the rotis ballloon up so fast, but they have to be nicely cooked on the tawa for them to be fluffly.

I had alot of trouble with making rotis. I looked alot of videos. One tip that made the dough easier to handle and work with is that I add oil the the dough while mixing and once Im done so it doesn't form a skin/crust.
I use a round board also. Definitely would suggest to keep the dough in the fridge. Practice definitely makes perfect but there some key methods in getting it to work .

Definitely wish I saw this post earlier. Make sure the Tawa is piping hot. I leave mine on the stove for at least 10 minutes prior to making roti. I also cook one side till it forms small bubbles and repeat. Then I cook on open flame.
