How to make Indian Chapati:

- Knead the smooth dough by adding sufficient amount of water.
- Leave to rest at least for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal parts.

I don’t know why my dove is always very soft an roti becomes dry after few minutes? plz help me on this
I think you should carefully add water while kneading, also try to make small, thin and round roti;s. Do not apply oil again and again. Keep the roti’s in the paper plate first and then wrap in the foil paper, your roti will not become dry for long time. I hope it would be helpful to you.For further queries, do not hesitate to ask.
