Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a mixing bowl combine the cassava flour, psyllium husk, baking powder and salt, then mix together well.
- Next pour in the hot water, a few tablespoons at a time and using a spatula or spoon mix together until combined to form a soft smooth dough.
- Then divide the dough into 4 and roll each dough ball between the palms of your hand to form 4 smooth balls.
- Cover with a damp paper towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
- When you are ready to cook the roti, place each dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into thin disk about 1/8 inch thick.
- You may use a pizza cutter to shape and neaten the edges into a clean circle, then lightly roll the edges with your rolling pin to flatten a bit before cooking.
- Repeat until all 4 dough balls have been rolled into flat disks.
- Place your tawa (or flat cast iron skillet) on medium-high heat and bring up to temperature.
- When the tawa is hot add one of the rotis to the tawa and cook for about 1 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side.
- Then if you have an induction cook top, place the trivet directly over the heat, then place the roti on top of the trivet.
- Cook for 30 seconds then flip the roti.
- Continue to cook the roti until it fully inflates, this should take another 30 seconds to a minute.
- If you have a flame cooktop, slide your skillet to the edge and let the direct heat inflate the roti. Click here for how to cook roti with an open flame!
- Repeat until all of the rotis are cooked.
- Place the rotis in a towel after cooking to keep them warm and prevent them from drying out.

Notes
This recipe makes 4-5 average sized sada rotis. I start by diving the dough into 4 balls, then I press the excess from the trimmed roti ends together to make my fifth roti. // Sometimes this recipe needs more 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Start with ¾ cups and then add 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to get a soft pliable dough.
