News India Live, Digital Desk: Roti is the most important part of the Indian thali. Everyone likes hot roti, but the roti kept in tiffin or lunch box often starts feeling rubbery while chewing. The softness of rotis depends not only on the way you roll them, but also on the way you knead the dough and store them. Let us know those 5 magical ways by which your rotis will remain fresh for a long time.1. Use of lukewarm water or milk: While kneading the dough, use lukewarm water instead of normal water. If you want the rotis to be extra soft, add a little milk to the flour. This improves the texture of the flour and the rotis do not dry out.2. It is important to give the dough ‘rest’. Do not make rotis in a hurry as soon as you knead the dough. After kneading the dough, apply a little oil or water on it and leave it covered for 15-20 minutes. Due to this, the gluten present in the flour becomes active and the rotis become flexible.3. Add a little oil or ghee: While kneading the dough, add a teaspoon of oil or ghee and a pinch of salt. Adding fat keeps the moisture inside the rotis intact, due to which they do not become hard even after cooling.4. Correct temperature of the pan: It is very important to take care of the flame while cooking roti. Tip: If the flame is too low, the roti will cook slowly and become hard (like a biscuit). Correct method: The pan should be medium-high hot. Do not turn the roti on the pan for too long, otherwise its moisture will be lost.5. Correct way to store the rotis: Do not keep them directly in the casserole (hot box) as soon as they are made. Secret: First wrap the rotis in a clean cotton cloth (Kitchen towel) and then keep them in the box. By placing a piece of ginger or a teaspoon at the bottom of the box, the roti below the steaming water does not get wet and remains soft.
