  3. 3 Divide the dough into small portions and shape each portion into a ball.
  4. 4 Take a ball of dough and flatten it on a greased plastic sheet or banana leaf using your fingers to form a thin, round rotti.

  6. 6 Carefully transfer the flattened rotti onto the hot tawa.
  7. 7 Cook the rotti on medium heat until golden brown spots appear on one side, then flip and cook the other side similarly.
  8. 8 Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
  9. 9 Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.

Tips

For softer rottis, ensure the dough is well-hydrated and rested for a few minutes before cooking.
