Everyone has a different way of rolling. I make sure there is enough dry flour on the dough so that it does not stick to the surface at all. I move my hands in a clockwise motion as I am going up and down. This way, the roti increases in size in a round shape and not a square shape.

When rolling the roti are you suppose to move the belan slightly round as you go up and down? Or do you only move the belan up and down and the roti should automatically move around by itself?

There is no easy answer… to make them round, its practice, practice and more practice To get them even, my mom always taught me to feel the roti with my hand as I am rolling it. You will instantly feel where it is too thick or thin and then you can fix it.

Whenever i try to make roti they are never even. How do you roll them so they are even and round?

Oil is not necessary but if you want to add it, you can follow our Rotli recipe.
