Tips (ಸಲಹೆ):  

 * Very fine powder of Semolina does not taste good 

 * Spread ghee all over the Rotti as shown in the video and then roast the Rotti in medium flame for the best results

 * While placing the Rotti, flame should be high and then it should be cooked in medium flame

 * Mix the batter well before placing each Rotti

 * Use Iron Tava for authentic taste

 * As it takes time in roasting, multiple Tavas can be kept for preparing the Rottis in parallel

 * ತುಂಬಾ ಸಣ್ಣ ಗಾತ್ರದ ರವೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ರುಚಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ 

 * ತುಪ್ಪವನ್ನು ವಿಡಿಯೋದಲ್ಲಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದಂತೆ ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆ ಒಂದೇ ಸಮನಾಗಿ ಸವರಿ, ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೋಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ

 * ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಗೆ ಹಾಕುವಾಗ ಬೆಂಕಿ ದೊಡ್ಡದಾಗಿರಲಿ. ಆಮೇಲೆ ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಿಸಬೇಕು

 * ಪ್ರತೀ ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಗೆ ಹಾಕುವ ಮೊದಲು ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತೊಳೆಸಬೇಕು

 * ಕಬ್ಬಿಣದ ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ರುಚಿಯಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ

 * ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಸಣ್ಣ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಲು ಸಮಯ ಬೇಕಾಗುವುದರಿಂದ 2-3 ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಬಳಸಬಹುದು
