4. Keep mixing flour and boiled water with the spoon. Knead the mix until a dough is soft. Grease dough with margarine and knead the margarine into the dough again.
5. Heat the girdle until hot and grease once with margarine. While the girdle is heating up, roll out the dough into a strip and divide into prefered sized roti balls. In this case, big ones. Dab with a little flour to avoid sticking to the flat board.
6. Using the rolling pin, roll out the dough until thin and place on hot girdle. Turn roti over three times until light brown. Continue until all the dough is used.
Avoid using too much water as this will make the dough stick. Too little water will make the dough hard. Instincts are very important.

Roti is best eaten with any type of curry. It is considered a staple food so it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. As a quick and easy filler, roti can even be buttered with jam or eaten with barbecue.
