4.When it forms a ball, add a tsp of oil, turn off the heat and take it out on a plate.
5.Cover with a towel and let cool until lukewarm and you can handle it.
6.After about 5 minutes, knead the dough for 2 minutes. Make equal portions of the dough.

8.Carefully place a roti on the griddle. Using damp cloth, you could press the roti for it to puff. Alternatively, cook the roti for a minute on each side and transfer it to direct flame for about 30 seconds for it to puff and get the char.
9.Take it out and slather some ghee over it. Wrap well and it stays great for two days.Post
