How to Make Tortilla at Home

In a mixing bowl add flour,salt,baking powder and oil…Rub this together with your hands till mixed well. Pour boiling water in this and using a wooden spoon mix together till it forms a dough.. Cover this with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 min. After 30 min divide this into equal size balls and start rolling into a thin roti. Heat a pan to the highest heat..The pan should be so hot before putting the tortilla in it. Put the tortilla in the hot pan and cook for 30 sec.Turn it over and press it with a spatula..The tortilla will puff like a balloon.Remove this and put it in a plate. Do exactly same with the rest of the dough.. You could enjoy right away or store in fridge and use within 2-3 days(you could freeze this upto a month).
