Frequently Asked Questions

Why mix the flour into boiling water?

Rice flour has no gluten, so boiling water partly cooks it and makes the dough soft and easy to roll. Cold water gives a crumbly dough that cracks.

How do I keep the rotis soft after cooking?

Stack them in a covered container or wrap them in a clean cloth as soon as they come off the pan. The trapped steam keeps them soft.
