Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, salt, sugar, water, and condensed milk to form a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  2. 2

    Divide the dough into small balls, coat generously with melted ghee, and let them rest at room temperature for at least 4 hours.

  3. 3

    Flatten a dough ball on an oiled surface, then flip and stretch it until it is paper-thin and nearly translucent.

  4. 4

    Fold the stretched dough into a square or gather it into a spiral shape to create flaky layers.

  5. 5

    Heat a flat griddle over medium heat and pan-fry the folded dough for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Immediately crush the cooked roti slightly between your hands to separate the layers, and serve with hot dhal or chicken curry.
