Place flour in a large bowl. Season with salt. Add water little by little, and knead to form soft dough. Rub a little oil on the dough. Cover with a tight lid or damp tea towel. Set aside for one hour.

Make a small ball out of the dough. Flatten and dip it in flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a thin circle. If the dough sticks to the work surface while rolling out, sprinkle with more flour.

Heat a tawa over low heat. Place the rolled out dough on top. When you see bubbles on top of the roti, flip it over. Increase heat to medium-high. When you see brown spots on the bottom of the roti, remove it from pan, and place it directly over the flame. When one side puffs up, flip over to cook the other side. Remove from heat. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Store rotis in an airtight container, keep covered with a tea towel.
