Making of shape

  • Cut the dough with the help of a round cutter or katori & you have a perfect round small sized Roti with you.
  • Brush a small amount of oil on one side of the rolled dough and fold it from the center and it will look like a half moon.
  • Poke the half moon with the folk. This is to be done so that our ducks will not puff up while baking.
  • Again turn the side and now its a time to do the art work with the help of a knife.
  • Place the dough in a way so that the flat side of it is on upwards direction and the half round side of it is towards the downside.
  • Leaving a space of about ½ inches from the flat upward side and 1 inch from left round side, mark a deep cut towards the right end of the folded dough.
  • Mark the 2 small cuts on the right side of the dough little downwards.
  • Very slightly flatten the round side of the dough with the help of a knife. This is needed just to give a standing posture to your ducks once they are Baked.
  • Now hold the slit of the dough which was marked cut in the beginning and turn it upwards in the shape is a semi circle. This is the neck of your duck.
  • Slightly pinch the slit from its opening end and give it the shape of a beak.
