Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine 1 cup wheat flour, 1/2 cup maida, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 3 teaspoons of oil (or melted ghee) and mix well.

2. 2.Knead the Dough

   Gradually add water and mix the flour until it comes together to form a dough. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

3. 3.Rest the Dough

   Rub a little oil around the kneaded dough, cover the bowl, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

4. 4.Portion and Shape the Dough

   After 30 minutes, shape the dough into a log and cut it into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.

5. 5.Pair the Dough Balls

   Take two dough balls and flatten each one slightly with your fingers. Spread a thin layer of oil or melted ghee on one flattened dough ball and dust it lightly with maida. Place the second flattened dough ball directly on top and press them together gently.

6. 6.Roll the Rotis

   Dust your rolling surface with a little flour. Place the paired dough on the surface and roll it out into a thin, round roti, similar to a regular chapati.

7. 7.Cook the Rotis

   Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled roti on the tawa. Cook for about 30-45 seconds until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the roti, drizzle some ghee or oil on top, and cook until golden brown spots appear. Flip again, drizzle more ghee/oil, and cook the other side until it also has golden brown spots and is fully cooked.

8. 8.Serve Dosti Roti

   Remove the cooked Dosti Roti from the tawa and fold it in half. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. Serve hot with your favorite curry or side dish.
