1. Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a saucepan. Add Oil and Salt. Mix.

2. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly add Semolina to the water. Mix very well. It will not form any lumps.

3. Switch off the stove, cover the saucepan and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Once the semolina rava cools down (temperature should not be cold but a little more than warm), knead it like dough with lightly oiled hands.

4. Form the dough into balls and roll them into thin chapati shaped disks with the use of rice Flour or wheat flour for dusting. Roll several chapathis and stack them in a plate as shown in the pic.

5. Keep the flame high. These chapathis are cooked on high flame. Cook the rolled chapathis on a hot tava or skillet on one side for about half a minute. Flip and cook other side and apply 1 tsp of oil and cook for another half minute.

6. Keep flipping over and over with the use of tongs while the chapathi puffs and start getting brown spots. Even if the roti does not puff fully, it will still remain soft. Serve with dal or any vegetable curry or subji.
