hi aunty 😊if after we put in the first cup of flour and the dough comes out soft and plyable already not at all grainy, is it necessary to add more water and more flour? pls help
@GaithreeDeviLuckan3 жыл бұрын
If you feel your dough is to the consistency you like it then it should be ok. However you will have to also see how the rotis come out. I mixed dough by touch for years and only started measuring after I started this channel...

@@GaithreeDeviLuckan thanks alot.......I did such a big blunder cos my consistency was perfect and I went and added a cup of water causing a river in my dish 😭😭😭😭was so sad. I should've just left out the water .....I was under the impression that without extra flour and water, the roti will come out raw🙈🙈 I did try again and there was no need for more water and flour but I had to cut down quantity drastically cos all my flour finished 😅😅but it came out perfect, it even puffed up while toasting 💫🥳
