Why does the recipe say not to stretch the dough when rolling?

The recipe advises against stretching the dough because it will likely fall back into place, making it difficult to achieve the desired thinness. Just roll gently.

What is the purpose of resting the dough for 30 minutes?

Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it softer, smoother, and easier to roll out without it shrinking back, which is crucial for Sada Roti.

How do I know when to flip the roti on the tawa?

You should flip the roti as soon as you see little bubbles rising on the dough's surface, then cook the other side for about a minute before flipping again.

What is the technique for making the roti swell or raise?

Once the roti starts to swell on the tawa, pull the tawa slightly off the flame and shake, or place the roti directly over the flame, turning it constantly until it fully puffs up.

Can I make this Sada Roti recipe gluten-free?

This specific recipe uses all-purpose flour, which contains gluten. Substituting with a gluten-free flour blend would require adjustments to the water content and kneading process, and results may vary.
