For beginner cooks, making the perfect roti can be quite a task. The dual goal of making it round and soft is no easy feat. Here are some tips that will come in handy.

Use warm water for kneading to ensure roti turns out softer. Also, make sure that the roti dough is squidgy but not sticky. Let the dough rest for some time.

When you get down to making the rotis, knead your dough again. Also, keep the dough covered with a wet cloth while rolling and cooking rotis.

Dust the rolling pin and board with dry flour. This will prevent roti from sticking and you won't have to use too much flour that can harden it while cooking.

Always preheat the tawa on which you will make your roti so that it doesn't spend too much time on the gas. Lesser the cooking time, the softer your roti will be.

Many people think thinner rotis are softer. However, thin rotis can dry out and become paper-like. So, rolled roti should always be of the ideal thickness.

Dust off excess flour from the roti before tossing it on the pan. Too much dry flour will make your roti dry and not soft like you'd want it to be.

Cook your roti till it forms bubbles on both sides and then place it on the direct flame to puff up. Just remember not to keep the roti on the heat for too long.
