2. Knead the dough for about three minutes, then shape it into a circle and apply a bit of oil on top. Cover it with a wet cloth for fifteen minutes.
3. Divide the dough into six small balls, let them rest for 10 minutes, and roll them out thinly on a floured board using a rolling pin.
4. Cook the roti on a tray over low heat, applying a little oil. Flip and cook both sides until brown spots appear.
5. Place a savory filling in the center and fold the roti.
