ROTI-CHENNAI

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp evaporated milk, mixed with 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 ½ cups (375ml) water
• 5 cups (750g) flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup melted  margarine/melted butter

Method:

1. In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the water,and add the salt, eggs, sugar, and 5 tablespoons of melted margarine or melted butter, and mix well. 
2. Then pour the sifted  flour into the mixing bowl and knead the dough for 10 minutes to make a soft dough. Shape dough into a ball and place it in a small bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place to rest for one hour.
3. Portion the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a small ball. Coat each dough ball in the margarine, cover and set aside again for at least 3 hours or overnight (for extra softness).
4. Heat an iron griddle or heavy pan or non stick pan and grease with a little ghee or butter. Grease a rolling pin and work surface with ghee. Roll out each dough ball to make it as thin as possible.
5. Fry each dough individually on the hot griddle over medium to high heat until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side, adding more of the ghee or oil as necessary. .
