- Smoothen the dough using little bit oil. Cover & let the dough rest for 20 mins.
- After 20 min checks the dough and knead it for 1 min and then make equal size balls.
- For layered roti, roll 1 ball in to thin roti shape, keep it aside and then roll one more ball.
- Now apply a layer of oil on one roti and then place the second rolled roti over it.
- Then press the roti so it sticks and then using maida roll the roti as thin as possible.
- Now lightly roast the rotis on both sides on low flame till bubbles appear. It takes approx 30 sec on one side. Once bubbles appear turn it over and roast on another side.
- Separate both sheets and keep them aside Once done put roti in a casserole to avoid its drying
Making chana dal samosa
