The Chapati or paratha as I have known it is a triangular roti which is shown here .. the method shown here is for those who have difficulty in converting from a dough to the chapati . ..the technique shown here can also be used for making poories or phulka rotis .. it wont create problems of sticky dough sticking all over your hands and rolling pin and requiring you to constantly check whether it is going to get off the table .. In this technique as shown, you place a thin metal foil on any flat surface and place the dough on it, cover it with a transparent plastic sheet and roll out the roti .. you then can easily peel off the round or triangle and proceed to cook it in the usual way ...
