The best technique of kneading the roti dough has to be kneaded with proportionate water until soft. And the roti dough also needs some time to rest with covering it with a cloth or a plate. Your rotis will start coming out perfectly round and soft with proper practice.

Or you can also make vaghareli rotli at any time. Leftover roti can be used in any dishes like frankie.

Furthermore, I want to share some suggestions and tips with you for making soft and best phulkas or chapati or roti. Firstly, add water in batches at a time so that you can knead the dough as per your requirements as hard or soft. If you add all the water at once then dough may soft or sticky and difficult to knead.

Moreover, turn the flame to high while you place roti on direct flame for puff the roti. In last, while rolling the roti make sure you roll it evenly. The thickness across roti remains the same. It may secure while puffing the roti.
