Roti with Dal and subji is a valuable source of proteins .Whole grain cereals like atta, are rich in iron, vitaminB and fibre. refined cereals like maida, however, furnish very little of these nutrients...

tips for roties

************

• knead the dough well and keep it covered for half and hour before using. if this is not done the edges become cracked and it will not get puffed properly.
• use enough water to make the dough so that It does not become too dry or too wet in cooking.
• the dough should be soft enough for chapattis and parathas.
• add less water for making dough for puries.
• do not use too much dry flour in rolling the roties.
