- Knead dough smooth and semi-soft. so, I recommend taking equal quantities of rice flour and water, also add little hot water if the dough is not bound properly.
- Roll the roti’s should be medium thick than a normal chapati or roti’s. this would help in attaining a crisp brittle texture. also, do not forget to poke with a knife/cutter before deep frying.
- Lastly, Fry nasta in small batches on a medium flame. once deep fried, cool down and store them in an airtight container for longer shelf life.
