Roti is generally mild in flavor, allowing it to complement a wide range of curries and savory dishes. The taste is primarily of baked wheat, with subtle nutty and earthy notes.
The primary flavor of roti comes from the wheat flour used to make it, which can be whole wheat (atta) or a blend of different types. Cooking over an open flame or on a hot griddle imparts a slightly smoky flavor. Ghee or butter brushed on the roti adds richness and a subtle buttery taste.

Dough Consistency
The dough should be soft and pliable, not too sticky or too dry. Adjust the water content accordingly.
Resting the Dough
Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer roti.
Rolling Technique
Roll the roti evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly. Use light pressure to avoid tearing the dough.
Cooking Temperature
Cook the roti on a hot griddle (tawa) or open flame. The high heat helps to puff up the roti, making it soft and airy.
Applying Ghee
Brush with ghee or butter immediately after cooking to add flavor and prevent it from drying out.
