Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

Knead the flour until very smooth to form gluten.

Let the dough rest after kneading.

Form the dough into balls.

Open out the balls until they are very thin.

Use ghee to brush the dough as it's rolled out.

Roll the dough into a cone shape, tucking the ends inside.

Cover the dough with a damp tea towel or paper towel and let it sit for a minimum of one hour.

Lightly flour the surface and roll out the dough ball as soon as possible.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a layer of oil.

Place the roti on the skillet and let it cook for a couple of seconds.

After about 20 seconds, oil the top side of the roti.

Flip the roti after another 20 seconds and let it cook on that side.

Bring the ends together to ensure they cook properly.

Check for a nice brown color to indicate doneness.

Once cooked, break the roti into pieces to serve.
