Sooji (Semolina) Roti is a great dish for packing for lunch or school. Infact they stay surprisingly soft for a long time as compared with a regular roti. Its a great change from the Regular Wheat flour rotis. Sooji is also called rawa (or Rava if you prefer) in South India . This Roti is called Thali Peet in Kannada.
This is also called Sooji Chapati or Rava Chapati.

Note
Right temperatures of the tawa is very important thing while making Rava Roti. if the temperature is too high, roti will burn, and if it is too low then roti will become hard. So I always prefer to roasting on medium to high heat.
