Adjust the consistency of the dough only using rice flour or rice paste. (Note: Adding too much rice flour will make your roti hard)
Divide this dough into 4-5 equal sized balls. Sprinkle the rice flour generously when making the roti. Press with your hands or roll out into roti like a chapati.

Heat a flat tawa or pan. Place the roti on the hot tawa and cook for 1 minute on each side.
Hold over direct flame and toast on both the sides until you see a few brown spots and it's puffed.
