Allow the kokis to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days. You can reheat them on a tawa before serving.
The most common reason for a soft koki is adding too much water to the dough. The dough must be very stiff. Another reason could be cooking on a high flame, which cooks the outside quickly but leaves the inside soft.
