Olive oil is healthier while margarine is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while water is a cost-saving option.

Add 4 cups of flour to a bowl.

Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the flour.

Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, mixing as you go.

Knead the mixture until it is smooth and free of lumps, about 3-5 minutes.

Add a few drops of vegetable oil while kneading to help smooth the dough.

Form the dough into a smooth ball and cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

Divide the dough into medium-sized portions and roll each into a ball, dusting with flour as needed.

Roll out each dough ball into a flat disc, sprinkling flour to prevent sticking.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and place the rolled-out roti on it.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the roti.

Cook for about a minute on the second side, flipping again to ensure even cooking.

Remove the roti from the griddle once cooked and keep warm.
