padvali roti is a traditional Gujarati roti, which is prepared frequently during the mango season to enjoy with aam ka ras. Learn how to make padvali roti recipe | Gujarati thin roti | pad wali roti | bepadi roti | layered roti |

Although these thin Gujarati rotlis are prepared using just whole wheat flour, like any other roti, the method of rolling and cooking the pad wali roti in pairs makes them quite different from other varieties like phulkas.

padvali roti, a Gujarati specialty, is a delightful twist on the classic roti. These are essentially double-layered flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. The key to their unique texture lies in layering two thin rotis together, brushed with oil and dusted with flour. The result is a soft, light roti that can be enjoyed plain or with a smear of ghee.

The thin Gujarati thin roti are cooked only on a tava and not on an open flame. Enjoy a typical Gujarati meal of padvali roti and Aam Ras along with Karela Bateta Nu Shaak or Batata Chips Nu Shaak for a well rounded meal.

Pro tips to make padvali roti recipe: 1. You need a soft dough like a chapati dough rather than a hard puri dough. Add water a bit at a time to prevent the dough from becoming sticky. 2. You must add oil and flour between the two balls to make it possible to peel apart after cooking. 3. Peel the two layers apart as soon as the roti is removed from the pan.

Hi tarla mam, my husband is very fond of cooking he tried the padvali roti as instructed by you and believe me it turned out so soft that we had 5 rotis each.We are south indians but wanted to have roti so we went through all the roti recipes and tried padvali roti. Amazingly soft roti even though the making process is time consuming. We enjoyed and will try all your different rotis and subzis. Thanks and Regards, Jayashree Ganesh, chennai
