In the meantime use an ulta tawa or a clean kadai and place it inverted on to the gas stove. Heat it to a high. In a cup of water add salt and mix it. Sprinkle some of this salted water over the hot kadai bottom. The water should immediately evaporate and leave some salt sticking to it. This will prevent the roomali roti from falling off while cooking. |

Technique 1Dust the kitchen counter with dry flour and place the Roomali peda, press it and fatten with your fingers. Make sure the sides are thin and a bit thicker in the centre. Using a rolling pin roll it out thin till about 12inches in diameter. Pick it up and carefully place it over the inverted hot kadai to cook it. Flip it to cook on the other side, you can gently press the sides with a kitchen cloth. Remove and fold it like a handkerchief and serve immediately or cover it with a clean kitchen cloth to serve later. Repeat the same with the other remaining dough. |
