furthermore, i would also like to mention some of my tips, suggestions and variations to tandoori roti recipe on tawa. firstly, this recipe is made with only wheat flour as traditionally tandoori roti is made with just that. however, if you wish to explore other options, you may also use plain flour along with wheat flour. you may use 1:1 or 3:1 or 4:1 ratio, to begin with. secondly, i have used iron tawa with roti stuck to the base of it. you may also use your old pressure cooker and stick the roti to the sides of it. lastly, once the roti’s are cooked or baked, apply butter on top of it, so that it does not become brittle. do not apply before cooking or while it is cooked.
