Tips & Hints;
More grated coconut (to you’re liking )can be added.
Coconut milk or coconut water maybe used to give more flavours to roti.
Leftover roti should be covered with cling wrap and kept in the refrigerator. Before using roti warm in bread toaster for 2 – 3 minutes. You will never guess it was the leftover roti.
