In a bowl mix together all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry). Add hot water and mix it with a spoon. Then knead into a dough with your hand and keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. Take one portion and spread directly on a greased tawa / griddle with the help of your fingers.
Keep a bowl of water alongside for wetting your fingers in it in order to spread it evenly and as thinly as possible into a round circle.
Make few holes in it and fry on a medium flame by drizzling oil in the holes and around the edges.
Fry on one side before flipping it over to fry on the other side. You need to keep two griddles to make similar rotis with the rest of the dough.
Or you can simply place the back side of the tawa under running water for a few seconds till it has cooled down. Then grease it and make similar rotis. Serve with coconut chutney, pickle or any side dish.
