Tips:

You may use a thick bottomed flat fry pan or girdle or a kadai to make roti.
Making it in a non stick fry pan can reduce the use of oil if you wish.
Adding fresh coconut makes roti soft and tasty too. You can add that according to your taste or omit it.
We first keep the flame high to heat the girdle fast. If the flame is too low, the roti may become hard.
Lift the lid after 2-3 minutes and check how much it is done. The aroma of the roti getting cooked, with practice, you can guess the time.
When the rotti is covered, there is a sizzling sound which is also an indication that the rotti is almost done. Take off the lid and turn the roti.
When you are covering with a lid, you may cook the roti on only one side until there are brown spots. There is no need to turn and cook the roti on the other side.
