Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

In a bowl, add 3 cups of flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix the dry ingredients.

Rub butter into the flour mixture until it resembles crumbs.

Gradually add warm water little by little until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough lightly until it comes together and is smooth.

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

After resting, sprinkle flour on the surface and place the dough on it.

Shape the dough into a long rectangle and cut it into 6 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

Flatten one ball slightly and roll it out into a thin circle.

Brush the top with vegetable oil and make a slit from the middle to the edge.

Roll the dough into a cone shape and tuck the ends inside to seal.

Cover the rolled dough with a damp paper towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with oil.

Flatten one ball of dough and roll it out thin again.

Place the rolled dough in the skillet and dab the top with oil.

Cook for 30-40 seconds on one side, then flip and brush the other side with oil.

Cook for another 30-40 seconds, then remove from the pan.

Repeat with remaining dough, using a clean kitchen rag or paper towel to trap the cooked roti.
