Roti Mauricien

Instructions

1. 1 Mix flour and salt, then add oil and warm water gradually, kneading until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
2. 2 Divide dough into six portions, roll each into a ball, and rest covered for twenty minutes.
3. 3 Roll each ball into a thin circle, spread with softened butter, then fold into thirds and roll again.
4. 4 Heat a tawa or flat griddle over medium heat. Cook each roti for two minutes per side.
5. 5 Brush with a little oil or butter as it cooks, pressing gently with a cloth to encourage puffing.
6. 6 Stack cooked rotis on a plate covered with a cloth to keep warm and soft.
