For the dough add maida, salt, yeast mixture and knead with milk, leave to rest for 2 hours. 

Then perform the knock back process by adding butter to soften the dough and let it rest for ½ hour rest. 

Portion the dough and create a bigger dough ball than usual. After rolling it apply water on one side and place the wet side down on an upside down tava (ulta tava), once the roti starts developing bubbles hold the tava above the flame so that the roti is in direct contact with the fire. When the roti is cooked it will automatically leave the surface of the tava.
