Yes, you can prepare the dough, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before rolling the rotis.
Hard rotis can result from a few things: the dough might be too stiff, it wasn't rested long enough, or the tawa was not hot enough during cooking. Ensure your dough is soft and pliable and cook on medium-high heat.
Store leftover rotis wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil inside an airtight container. They stay fresh at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on a tawa before serving.
This rustic roti pairs beautifully with traditional Bihari dishes like Baingan ka Bharta (roasted eggplant mash), Aloo Chokha (spiced mashed potatoes), or any lentil curry (dal). It also goes well with plain yogurt and pickle.
