News India Live, Digital Desk: Roti is the most important part of 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
Instead of normal water while kneading dough lukewarm water Use. If you want the rotis to be extra soft, add a little Milk Mix well. This improves the texture of the flour and the rotis do not dry out.
2. It is important to give the flour ‘rest’
Do not make rotis by kneading the dough in a hurry. After kneading the dough, apply a little oil or water on it. Cover and leave for 15-20 minutes. Due to this, the gluten present in the flour becomes active and the rotis become flexible.
3. Add some oil or ghee
While kneading the dough, add a teaspoon oil or ghee And add 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).
Right way: The pan should be medium-high hot. Do not turn the roti on the pan for too long, otherwise it will lose its moisture.
5. Correct way to store
As soon as the rotis are made, do not keep them directly in the casserole (hot box).
Secret: First wrap the rotis in a clean cotton cloth (Kitchen towel) and then keep them in a 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.
