Heat water in a pot. Let it come to a boil.
Add the maize Flour. Mix. Turn off the heat. Cover with the lid and let it rest for 5-7 minutes.
Open the lid and give it a good mix.
Knead it with your hands. Add extra water, if needed and knead a smooth dough. At this step, you can optionally add a cup of whole wheat flour. Adding wheat flour will make it easy to roll the dough while making rotis.
Add oil. Wet your hands and knead once again.
Cover and rest the dough for 10 minutes.
Heat a tawa/Pan. Also, heat a grill rack.
Take a small portion of the dough.
Roll it. Use dry wheat flour so that it doesn’t stick. Flatten it. It should neither be too thick nor too big.
Transfer to the hot pan. Cook on one side for about 15 seconds.
Turn and cook the other side for 15 seconds.
Then, transfer to the grill rack and let the roti puff up.
Take it out and serve it hot.
