Homemade Sheets for Spring rolls

🥟 Homemade Sheets using Rotimaker (or Tawa Method)

Perfect for: Spring Rolls | Mutabbaq | Samosa etc

🌾 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can also use wheat flour)

  • Salt – to taste

  • 1 tsp ghee or oil

  • 80–90 ml water (adjust as needed)

Cornstarch-Oil Paste

  • 1–2 tsp cornstarch

  • 1–2 tsp oil

  • Mix until smooth and lump-free

👩‍🍳 Dough Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and ghee/oil.

  2. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.

  3. Cover and let the dough rest for 15–30 minutes.

🪄 Layering the Dough

  1. Lightly flour your surface. Shape the rested dough into a rectangle and divide it into 12 equal portions.

  2. Roll each portion into a ball.

  3. Lightly flatten one dough ball into a small disc.

  4. Brush the disc generously with cornstarch-oil paste, covering the entire surface.

  5. Place a second disc on top, align it well, and brush it with paste.

  6. Add a third disc, align, and press gently.

  7. You now have a stack of 3 discs. Repeat to make 4 sets of stacked discs.

🔁 For thinner sheets, you can make stacks of 4–5 discs. If so, make smaller dough balls accordingly.

🔥 Method 1: Using Rotimaker

  1. Preheat the rotimaker on high.

  2. Place a stacked disc on the hot rotimaker.

  3. Gently press and cook for a few seconds only, just until the surface looks dry and partially cooked.

  4. Remove and cover immediately with a clean towel to retain softness.

  5. Repeat with all stacks.

🍳 Method 2: Without Rotimaker (Tawa Method)

  1. Roll out each stacked disc into a thin circle (like a chapathi).

  2. Heat a tawa and cook each rolled stack briefly on both sides, just until the surface is dry — do not brown them.

  3. Remove and keep covered.

🧊 Final Steps & Storage

  • Peel the sheets apart while they are still warm.

  • Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and pliable.

  • Use as needed for your preferred recipes.



Notes: 
I usually make some sheets with chappathi dough or Tortilla dough while making them alongside
