Notes

Important Points:
1.Do not heat the tawa when the roti is being spread on tawa and if done so there are chances of burning the fingers.
2. For the second roti reduce the temperature of the tawa fully and start making the ragi roti and then switch the stove on.
3.Greasing the tawa/gridle before making the roti is a must as the roti cannot be spread if the tawa is not greased well.
4.Always make sure the tawa should be cool before spreading the roti to avoid burning of fingers.
