But did you know cooking rotis directly on gas flame is unhealthy? Here are some side effects of cooking rotis directly on gas flame.

Contains toxic substances

Hence, we should avoid cooking rotis on gas flame.

Increases chronic disease risk

According to WHO, air pollutants are unsafe and can cause respiratory illnesses, and even cardiovascular problems.

Studies suggest that carcinogenic compounds can develop the risk of colorectal cancer.

Cooking roti on a tawa is a better option than cooking it over a gas flame directly as flat surface distributes heat evenly.
