Next, lightly grease a piece of butter paper with oil. Spread the dough onto the paper using your hands, creating 2-3 holes on the roti. Carefully flip the butter paper onto a heated pan and remove the paper. Cook until the roti is golden brown on one side, then flip it to cook the other side. You can also use a banana leaf for this process, and your akki roti will be ready! |
