Coconut oil is a healthier fat option.

Combine shortening, salt, and baking powder into all-purpose flour and mix well.

Gradually add warm water until a soft dough forms, ensuring the texture is right for softness.

Add a little oil over the top of the dough and cover it, allowing it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

Flour the surface and pinch off small pieces of dough, forming them into balls.

Roll out each dough ball slightly and place a little oil in the middle, then fold and form a cone shape in your hands to create layers.

Continue the oiling process for all dough balls, rolling them out and folding them with oil in the middle.

Cover the oiled dough with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough to the size of your towel and place it on a preheated towel to cook.

Cook until bubbles form, then flip it over, oil both sides, and cook to your desired doneness.

Remove from the towel and clap the cooked roti by hand or with a bowl to fluff it up.
