make a soft dough.  Cover with a moist cloth and keep aside 
for 15 to 20 minutes. Divide it into equal size balls, about 
1 1/2 inches in diameter. Flatten the balls with a rolling pin into round discs approximately 6 to 7 inches in diameter.
Heat the "tava" . Now put the roti on a hot tawa.
first cook one side. it should be less than half cooked or 
one-fourth cooked turn and cook the other side. this should be 
a little bit more cooked than the first side.now small bubbles 
start forming on the roti that means it is getting cooked.O
nce the bubbles visible the roti is ready to put direct on 
fire or you may use roti grill.
Now hold the roti with a grill and keep the first side which 
was cooked, directly on fire. the roti will start to puff.
Turn and keep the other side on fire. the roti will puff more. 
avoid burning the rotis and also don’t overdo it as roti will 
not be soft and will become crisp and hard like papads.
Serve hot if you cannot serve them hot, then you can keep them in 
a casserole with

may keep them soft for a long time.
