Notes
Rice flour to water is always in the ratio of 1:2.
Dont allow the flour to get too cold while kneading.Knead it when it is manageable hot.Kneading process is very vital.Better you need easier to roll.
Since we are kneading the dough when its hot only , it would be difficult for us to handle the dough bear hands. Thats why we are putting it in polythene cover and knead later .
You can also add green chilli paste / chilli flakes / coriander leaves / pudina leaves etc for additional flavour .
