Prep time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 15-20 mins

Ingredients:

1 1/2cup Atta (Whole Wheat Flour)
50 gms Maida ( White Flour/ All purpose flour)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
2 tbsp oil
Warm Water to knead 2 cups
Salt a pinch

2.Now add the Salt and the Baking Powder.
3.Sieve this mixture to get some air into the mixture and separate each and every particle of flour.
4.Add the oil in this mixture and then start kneading it by adding a little bit of water slowly.
5.Get a smooth, soft and elastic dough.
6.Cover this dough with a moist kitchen towel for 30 minutes.
7.Make small balls of the dough and roll it like thin Chapati.
8.The dough should be rolled to a paper thin thickness ( whatever practically can be achieved)
9.You can use a little dry flour to help you rolling it.
10.Take a wok or Kadai and invert it on the fire. The wok or kadai has to be really hot while putting roti.
11.The cooking is done on the inverted side of the wok. The rotis will get ready in few seconds.
12.Place the rumali roti carefully over it and cook till done.
13.Fold it like a handkerchief.

Tips:

1. Coat the tawa with salty water so that good rotis come out.
2. Dont use nonstick kadai or pan else it will get damaged.
3. Make sure the edges of the roti are thin because the centre expnads faster as the egdes. So the centre can be little thick.
