Note:

  • Adding oil and buttermilk adds extra softness to the rotis.
  • Sautéing the methi leaves enhances the flavor and cut down the bitterness of the leaves.
  • Stays soft for longer time and also doesn't gets spoiled soon,so ideal for travelling.
  • Rolling as thin as possible makes it very perfect!
