The key to making tasty bharelo rotlo (stuffed bajra roti) at home are

- bharelo rotlo has to be thick as compared to normalย rotlo. if you roll it thin, it may start to have cracks and disintegrate.
- lastly, cook rotla on medium flame, also sprinkle some water on top of the raw rotla once it is transferred to tawa. moisture would help rotis to turn soft and fluffy.
