Keep Your Rotis Soft All Day: 6 Essential Tips for Freshness

  • Use lukewarm water or milk to knead the dough for better hydration and a smoother texture.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly and allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes under a damp cloth to relax gluten and retain moisture.
  • Add a spoonful of ghee or oil during kneading to lubricate gluten, seal moisture, and keep rotis soft for hours.
  • Roll the dough gently and evenly to ensure uniform thickness, which helps rotis puff up and stay light.
  • Cook rotis on medium heat; avoid very high or low temperatures to prevent dryness or improper cooking.
  • Store rotis by stacking them while still warm, wrapped in a cotton cloth, inside airtight containers to trap moisture.
