Set aside 1 tbsp of olive oil. Slowly add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the flour. Mix thoroughly until all of the clumps are gone.
Add the water slowly. Mix together with your hands and knead the dough a few times. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a towel or saran wrap.
After half an hour, remove the dough from the bowl and separate into 8 smaller balls.
Place skillet (tawa) on the stove and turn on heat to medium high setting.
On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball and brush with the olive oil that you set aside. Sprinkle with flour and pinch the sides up so that the flour/oil section is in the middle of each ball.
Using a rolling pin, carefully roll each ball flat on a floured surface. You need to roll it out slowly to make sure that it is not sticking to your surface. If it feels sticky, flip the dough and sprinkle with flour and continue to roll it out.
Once the rotli is as thin as you can get it without it tearing, carefully place it on the pre-heated tawa or griddle top side down. As soon as you start to see little air bubbles forming, flip the rotli.
The air pockets will start to grow larger now. Flip the roti after they are a decent size. See photo for how the roti should look if you are not sure.
Place a light amount of pressure on the rotli with a spatula to push the air throughout the rotli. Once it has puffed up you can remove it from the stove.
Spread a small amount of butter on top of cooked rotli to keep it moist.
Repeat for the remaining 7 rotis.
