- Easy Step By Step Soft Roti Recipe For Beginners / Chapati / Indian Flat Bread (Fiji Indian Style)
Ingredients:
• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 cup hot boiling water
• 2 tbsp oil
• ½ tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter
Method:
1. Take flour in a bowl.
2. Add salt and oil and mix well.
3. Add all the water and mix with a spoon till the dough starts to come together.
4. Puts some oil in your palm.
5. Knead the dough with your hands to make a soft ball.
6. Roll into a log and break into golf ball size pieces.
7. Flatten the balls into round disks.
8. Dip in dry flour and roll until nice and thin.
9. Heat up a fry pan or griddle (tawa).
10. Put your roti on, wait for the bubbles to appear, flip it over and cook it for a few seconds until the roti starts to puff up.
11. With the help of a tea towel press the roti in the middle lightly, wait for a few seconds and start pressing at the edges until the whole roti is puffy. Flip it over , cook it for a few more seconds before taking it out on a plate.
10. Put butter, oil or ghee on both sides after its cooked.
11. Enjoy.
Tip:
Depending on the size of the balls, you can make 10 to 12 rotis.
Left over roti can be wrapped in a foil or plastic wrap and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To warm the rotis , take the required amount out and warm it for 20 seconds for each roti or in the fry pan. - Jak na to + styl

Dear user-gl, Thank you. Regards Anita.
Miss Anita, I don't know what's the time where you're, but it's 2.16 am where I reside, and I had to tell you this right now; I can't wait any longer. Oh my gosh! I tried your recipe with the HOT water, and it was a miracle! My roti WITHOUT baking powder, for the first time, came out perfectly! Thank you, thank you, so very much, I've learnt something new today, due to you.
I've always made roti "with" baking powder, and it came out perfectly every time; very soft, and round. I usually make a dozen at a time, freeze, and reheat in the microwave as needed, and they'd be very soft, as the day they were made.
This roti WITHOUT baking powder, I've tried once before, without success, UNTIL TODAY! I think it's because I didn't use HOT water before, and neither did I rolled out the roti, as thin as required. I'm having a piece of hot roti right now, with some pumpkin talkari.
By the way, I've watched a few videos with people making roti, without baking powder, and the roti puffs up very nicely, so I thought it was some kind of special flour they've used, but I now know, that it's NOT any kind of special flour, because I've used Five Roses, all purpose flour today, and NO baking powder, and my roti's were perfect!
Thank you again, and God bless!
Dear Doonwati, You are welcome. I am glad that my video was helpful. Thank you for watching my video. Regards Anita.

Vinaka aunty Anita! much love from Fiji!! I grew up in Suva and with fijian,samoan and European decent, I'm like a fruit salad always stuck in between 😅😅😅haha my best friend is indo fijian who tried teaching me how to make roti but it never turned out perfect whenever I tried so I'm really happy I've found you on CZcams and I'm following your channel now!! Thank you for this wonderful and simple video, I'm definitely going to try making roti again and thanks to u all hope is not lost🥰🥰🥰🥰 Vinaka vaka levu!!

@@anitasguidetosimplecooking so I made roti last night for dinner and I cant believe how perfect they were😅🥰 thanks to you my boyfriend really enjoyed it and he was so proud of me coz in the past 4 years we been together, I didnt attempt to make roti once haha😅 and he was like "wow it's so soft" and I said I just followed all your steps🤗 I'm so glad I've made it perfectly for the first time (finally)...I noted the rule of thumb with the flour and hot water but what about the oil? do I double the amount of oil if I do 4 cups flour next time? and can you do a video of how to make fiji dhal 🥰 please
Thanks for sharing and thks for good command of your English
Dear Glass, You are welcome. Thank you for watching my video. Regards Anita.
My pleasure
yummy im going to try it now. thanks Anita!
Dear Stuart, You are welcome. Let me know how your rotis turn out. Regards Anita.
Hi Anita my dough was very sticky so i just kept adding oil then flour. The bubbles didnt form like yours mine were much smaller and popped easily. Once finished they were very tasty. Thanks
Dear Stuart, The only reason your dough will become sticky is when too much water is added. To make the perfect roti dough you only need to keep one thing in mind is the measurements. Use the same cup to measure the hot water and the flour. The ratio of flour to water is 2 : 1. If you used 2 cups of flour then use 1 cup of water. Also if you have a food processor you can use it to make your dough using the above measurements. Let me know how you go. Regards Anita.
Your a good instructor... thank you 😊
Dear Priscilla, Thank you. Hope you and your family are well and keeping safe. Hope my video is helpful. Regards Anita.
