Start with a large bowl and add all-purpose flour.

Add a pinch of salt to the flour.

Add baking powder to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Add a little touch of ghee into the flour mixture to make the dough soft.

Gradually stream in warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 4 to 5 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes to relax.

Break the dough into small balls, about five for this recipe.

Smooth out each ball for easier rolling and place them on a plate covered with a damp paper towel.

Roll out one ball of dough on a floured surface until thin.

Spread a mixture of ghee and vegetable oil on the rolled dough.

Sprinkle dried flour on top of the oiled dough.

Cut the dough from the middle to the edge and roll it tightly from one side to the other, tucking in the ends to form a cinnamon roll shape.

Repeat the rolling and shaping process for the remaining dough balls.

Roll out the shaped dough again until round and thin.

Place the rolled Roti onto a hot tawa or skillet, ensuring the heat is not too high or too low.
