Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

Mix 3 cups of flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of sugar in a bowl.

Gradually add approximately 1 cup and 3/4 of water to the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Cover the dough with a damp paper towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Pinch the dough and divide it into smaller balls, then roll them into small balls.

Cover the dough balls with a damp paper towel and let them rest for another 10-15 minutes.

Flour the surface and roll out each dough ball with a rolling pin.

Make a slit in the middle of the rolled dough and brush it with melted butter.

Roll the dough into a cone shape, tucking the end inside and pressing it down.

Cover the rolled dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for a few hours for softness.

Roll out the rested dough again into circles, ensuring they fit on the small hot plate.

Brush the hot plate with melted butter and place the rolled dough on it.

Brush the top of the dough with more melted butter and flip it when it starts to puff up.

Bring the ends of the dough together to ensure they cook properly.

Mash the roti to create flaky layers and place it in a bowl covered with a towel to keep warm.
