To make Makki Ki Roti: Warm water. Make a hard dough with the flour. Keep the griddle on fire. Smoother out a little portion of dough(just sufficient for 1 roti) by kneading with palms using warm water. Keep a polythene sheet on the rolling surface and over it put the dough and cover with another sheet of polythene and roll.
