Round Flatbread Roti

Roti shape

The circular shape of the roti ensures that the water molecules get heated equally throughout the surface area of the roti. This has three advantages. The roti inflates evenly throughout i.e. without burning one side, while the other side remains deflated. The roti looks amazing.
