5.Apply the oil on the dough and put it back in the same bowl for 3 hrs to get pliable dough.

Method 2 : For Rolling

1.After the dough get stretched, make it into small balls.

2.Use your Kitchen counter for rolling it is very comfortable than the rolling board.

Note:

1.This Roti canai is same like our Parotta , but we dont need to add egg in it.
