Add 3 cups cake flour to a mixing bowl, add 0.5 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon butter or margarine, and 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Watch out
Ensure all dry ingredients are properly measured before mixing.
Using clean hands, rub the butter and the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Watch out
Butter and oil must be fully rubbed into the flour so no large lumps remain.
Boiling water is extremely hot; pour carefully to avoid splashes and burns.
Pour in ± 1 1/2 cups boiling water gradually, using a spoon to mix the water in until you're left with a clumpy dough.
Watch out
Add water incrementally so the dough does not become overly sticky or wet.
The dough is very hot from the boiling water; let it cool slightly if needed before handling.
Use your hands to bring the dough together and knead the dough for about 6 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable.
Watch out
Knead thoroughly for 6 to 8 minutes so the roti becomes soft and pliable.
Separate the dough into 12 to 13 equal parts and roll them into smooth balls.
Watch out
Make sure balls are roughly equal in size so the rotis cook evenly.
Lightly flour a surface, take one portion of dough at a time, tuck, roll, flatten, and roll out the dough into a thin circular disk.
Watch out
Roll evenly from the center outwards to maintain a circular shape.
Bring out a container and line it with wax or parchment paper.
The pan is hot; keep fingers clear when placing the dough.
Place a pan or skillet on the stove top on medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled dough disk onto it, spin it around, and toast for about 30 seconds.

Press gently with a cloth or spatula to help it puff evenly.
Place each toasted roti into the lined container and make sure to cover the container with a dish towel after toasting each roti to keep them soft.
Watch out
Always cover the container immediately after adding each roti to retain moisture and softness.
