Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar. Gradually add 3/4 cup water and 1 tbsp oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a lightly oiled surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 4 balls. On an oiled surface, flatten each ball and stretch it as thin as possible, until you can see through it.
Step 4
Brush the stretched dough with 1/2 tbsp butter, then fold it into a spiral or pleat. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 5
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook each roti for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and flaky. Serve hot.
