• Then add ½ cup water. Begin to mix and knead the dough.
• Add more water as required and knead to a smooth soft dough.
• I overall added ¾ cup water. The amount of water required depends on the quality of flour. So you can add ⅔ to ¾ cup water or more if required.

• Take the dough ball on the rolling board.
• Dust some dry wheat flour on both sides of the ball.
• Roll to a circle of about 5 to 6 inches.
• Sprinkle some more flour if required while rolling. Roll to medium to medium thick roti.
• Place the roti on a hot tawa or skillet. The tava should be hot and not at a low temperature.
• When the base is partially cooked, flip the roti.
• Spread some ghee or oil on the partly cooked part.
• When the second side is cooked and brown spots can be seen, then flip again. Spread some ghee or oil on this side too. Flip again.
• Press the edges with a spatula so that the sides are also cooked well.
• Flip once or twice more, so that the roti is evenly cooked. Also, do not cook too much as then the rotis will become dense.
• Serve the missi roti immediately or place them in a roti basket or a casserole and serve warm. Make rotis this way and stack them up in a roti basket or casserole.
• Serve them hot or warm with a sabzi, dal or with a pickle or yogurt or butter.
