The cloth should not be damp. What some people do is to cover the dough with a damp cloth. You can do that but for cooking rotis use a dry cloth.

thank u i appreciate it another question i have for you is does the cloth have to be damp or it doesnt matter?
sfehmi (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Yes - that does matter. Try buying chapati flour, it is available in any Indian store.

thanks i appreciate it i made an attempt last night it came out well but it never puffed up only in little spots i also used all purpose regular flour does that matter?
sfehmi (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Yes it does puff, however the technique is slightly different. While cooking on an electric stove, have it on high and press the roti on the skillet with a cloth. It will then puff up.

does the roti skin puff up on an electric stove?
sfehmi (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
No for plain roti yeast is not needed. Yeast is needed for naans.I am not familiar with Australian packaging. My guess is that you are right. Another suggestion will be to find an Indian Store in your town and buy a small package if chapati flour. There are several brands like Lakshmi, Swad, MHD who cater internationally.The Grocery store staff should be able to help.

Great videos, learned a thing or two. Thanks.I see that the roti puffed up nicely, is yeast an essential ingredient?Also, in Australia, we have plain flour or whole-meal flour, I guess the latter is what you eman by whole wheat flour. |
