Notes:
  1. Always use warm water for kneading the dough.
  2. Traditional karnataka people add dill leaves or avarakelu in the dough.
  3. Always ensure the pan in medium flame. Else the rotis will either not get cooked or will be too hard.
  4. You can add grated carrots to the dough to make it bit healthy.
  5. If you feel green chillies are too hot you can add red chili powder.
