correct way to knead dough
If you knead the maize flour directly by adding water, it will disintegrate quickly. So follow this method:

-let the water boil

This will make the dough like sticky dough. When it cools down a bit, knead it well. With this step the dough gets grip and it does not break while making roti.
Add this one thing and the roti will be perfect
If you want the dough to bind more, you can add some ragi flour to it. Ragi flour has slight elasticity, due to which the maize dough sets easily. There is no problem in rolling the roti and placing it on the pan.
Take care while rolling and baking roti
-Make a ball of dough and apply some water on your hands.
– Spread it slowly between the palms
-Do not make the roti too thin, keep it light thick.
-If rolling on a rolling pin then apply some ghee on the dough.
-Roti can also be rolled by applying ghee on baking paper.
Due to this, the roti will not break as soon as it is placed on the pan and its shape will also remain correct.
While placing the roti on the pan, do not put it too forcefully, slide it gently. When one side is lightly cooked, turn the other side. The roti can also break if you turn it too many times.
