Any solution for this? Thanks in advance. Hi Shilpa,

Now I use Ashirwad atta. The chapathis are not hard anymore & I don't use oil/milk. Thanks for the phulka recipe. Hi Shilpa

I was struggling for weeks to make rotis from scratch (usually get packed rotis from frozen aisle). Today i landed on your site and I am glad i did.I finally made soft rotis..my mistake was that I used to cook earlier on medium heat and flip it over many times. Really appreciate your detailed description with pictures. Thank you soooo much. hi,
