Casserole Roti Tips: Kitchen work is such a repetitive task every day that even a small mistake can spoil the food. Especially while making rotis. It is a common problem in every house that when we prepare hot rotis and keep them in a casserole, after some time instead of becoming wet, sticky and soft, they become unchewable due to the steam. Sometimes they become so wet that they do not get cured even after reheating. This problem especially increases when the rotis remain in a closed casserole in the kitchen for even a short time. Actually, when the roti is heated, steam comes out from it, and the same steam gets accumulated inside the casserole and creates moisture. This moisture spoils the roti, but the good thing is that some easy kitchen hacks can solve your problem within minutes. These methods are so simple that you will be able to follow them easily every day. This will keep your rotis hot, soft and fresh for hours. If you are also troubled by wet rotis every day and want the rotis to remain the same while serving food, then today we are sharing some amazing and very easy tricks with you. By adopting these hacks, you can keep the rotis fluffy and soft for a long time, without getting wet.
1. Place cotton cloth below and steel plate above
-This method is considered the easiest and most effective. Whenever you place hot rotis in a casserole, first spread a clean cotton cloth below it. This cloth absorbs the light steam formed inside and does not allow moisture to accumulate in the casserole.

-After laying the cloth, place the rotis and place a small steel plate on top. Then close the lid of the casserole.
-The steel plate prevents steam from rising up, and the rotis remain soft for a long time, without becoming soggy.
2. Place the roti in the casserole only when it cools down a bit.
-Many people immediately put ghee on roti and put it in a casserole and this is the biggest mistake.
-When the roti is completely hot, maximum steam comes out of it.
-Therefore, after baking the roti, apply ghee and keep it outside for at least 1–2 minutes.
-The roti will cool down a bit and release steam and then will not become wet when kept in the casserole.
-This small step can save your rotis from getting spoiled.
3. Never keep hot rotis in aluminum foil, use butter paper.
-Many people wrap the roti in aluminum foil before placing it in the casserole, but it is wrong to do so, because the foil does not allow steam to come out, due to which the roti becomes wet instantly.
-Use butter paper instead.
-Butter paper controls the steam of the roti and does not allow moisture to reach the roti.
-With this the roti will neither become too dry nor too wet.
-This method is especially useful when you have to pack the rotis and take them out.

4. Do not close the lid of the casserole completely immediately
-Very few people know this trick, but it plays a big role in keeping the rotis fresh.
-When you place hot roti in the casserole, do not close its lid completely immediately.
-By doing this, steam gets trapped and the rotis become sticky after getting moisture.
-Instead, leave the lid slightly open so that the steam can come out.
-After about 3–4 minutes, when there is no steam left inside, then close the lid completely.
-This method keeps the rotis in the same texture as when they came out of the hot pan for hours.
5. Use a thick casserole
-If your casserole is too thin, then too much steam accumulates in it and the temperature is not maintained properly.
-A good, thick and quality casserole keeps the rotis warm and soft for a long time.
-If you store rotis every day, it will always be beneficial to get a better casserole.
6. Bake the roti until slightly puffed.
-When the roti swells and bakes, there is less moisture in it and it does not get wet quickly.
-Therefore try to cook the roti properly.
-Light raw roti goes into the casserole and immediately releases steam, due to which it becomes wet.
