Once you have rolled the roti then apply the ghee on it .Fold like you are making a paper fan and then roll into circle.Now press it lightly towards the center to show the layers clearly and roll like a roti.
Note:the size of the roti has to be small and little thick. Mean while heat the pressure cooker well without the lid(select an open mouth ).Apply water on one side of roti and then carefully place the roti on the side of the cooker so that the wet side of the roti is in contact with the cooker.After 2-3 mins invert the cooker on the flame so that the top of roti gets cooked with the direct flame.Take our roti from the cooker and show it directly on the flames till it is crispy(which will not take more then 5 secs)

"cARROT cAKE:"
Serves: 7-8 People
Time consumed :1.5 hrs Costing of cake:
Ingredients:
-2 bowl of Flour (Maida)
-2 tsp of Baking Powder
-1.5 tsp of Baking Soda
-2 tsb of cinnamon Powder
-1/2 tsp of Salt
-1 bowl of Normal sugar(which u get in any ration shop)
-1 bowl of Oil (Any Oil ..i used saffola ..see how health conscious I am )
-4 Eggs
-Vanilla Essence
-1.5 bowl of Grated Carrot
-Toasted Nuts(u can just roast a small bowl of nuts in Microwave for 2 mins..more then 2 mins u might burn it)
Note :The bowl u r using to measuring stuff should be the same one..dnt u try using varried shapes of bowl)
Guys put your apron on ...and be ready for baking your carrot cake.
1st Batter:
Whisk all 4 egss well .Put 2tsp of Vanilla essence in egg..Beat Well
Put 1 bowl of sugar..Mix it well till it becomes fluffy and light.
Put in Oil in it ..U might use Butter but then i used Oil...Beat it well for 10 mins ..it should be mixed well and should be light in consistency.
so u all ready with 1st part of Batter..
2nd level:
Mix flour with Baking powder , Baking Soda ,Cinnamon Powder and then start putting it in 1st batter(Egg batter)slowly n slowly.
CAUTION :Dnt put the entire flour mixture in one go otherwise it may form Lumps. As u r putting flour keep mixing it with the batter continuously. The batter's consistency has to be thick ..the more u stir and mix it the cake will be fluffier and tasty. U might use hand mixer here otherwise u can just use wooden spatula for mixing it. So finally the batter is ready.
Now fold in 1.5 Bowl of grated carrot and coarsely cut nuts in it. Mix it well. Grease the pan and use Butter paper to avoid sticking of cake at the bottom.
Put the Batter in the Grease pan and check the level..it has to be filled 3/4 of the pan.
Preheat Oven at 180*C and bake it at Convection Mode for 45 Mins.
Check cake by pricking toothpick in the middle of the cake. If the batter is not ready it will stick on toothpick. May use Conv+Micro mode now and cook it for 5 mins and c ur cake is all done.
Leave it for 10 mins on rack and then take it out.
For topping it up:
Use 2 regular spoon of cream and 1/2 bowl of icing sugar or powdered sugar which can be made at home by grinding granulated sugar .The consistency should be thick ,add in 3 tsp of butter in it and then glaze it over cake . Decorate with silver balls ...Oh La La! Cake looks yum and it tastes yum...its a Moist cake....
