  3. Place mixture onto lightly floured surface and hand knead and break into 12-14 small balls of dough.
  4. Using lots of flour roll each roti very thinly into circles and then dry fry in a crepe pan. Once one side is brown turn over and fry the other side.
  5. Pile up cooked rotis on a plate until ready to serve.
  6. This recipe can be doubled for crowds and rotis freeze really well and make a great substitute for wraps.
