HOW TO MAKE ROTI WITH ROTI MAKER

The dough is the very first thing you need to have for making rotis. You must note that the dough for the roti maker is different from the dough used for tava. The roti maker dough should be very softer than a sough, which you use for tava. The softer dough will help the roti to stay intact and soft. Moreover, don’t use stored roti’s atta to make rotis as it will provide a weird texture. After making the dough, keep it on rest for at least 30-60 minutes before you start to bake rotis. If you start to use the dough instantly your rotis will start cracking as the dough has not yet settled. 

The very next step after making the dough is to make rotis. For this, you need to do two things: 

 

  • Make balls of atta
  • Start-up the Roti maker and let it be hot

 

You should start by making atta balls in order to make rotis. After making the roti balls, turn up the roti maker and heat it up for 5-6 minutes. You will get the indicator of heating from the heating light. After heating up get the dough and close the lid with the handle and press softly for just 1-2 seconds. Open the lid after 1-2 seconds and you will see the dough is now round and let the roti cook for at least 15 seconds. Do the same for the other side too.
