Tandoori Roti

I saw one youtube video on making tandoori roti using bread toaster but it came out very hard and no way near to tandoori roti, i did not get that smell which comes when we burn the roti directly in fire. The below is the only method where i could achieve the tandoori Roti flavor but still struggled initially.
Ingredients
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour/maida
salt and water

Method
1) Mix all the ingredients into tight dough, cover and keep for 1 to 2 hours

2) Divide the dougn into 6 equal balls, roll into thick roti.

3) Wet one side of the Roti and stick it to Pan/Tava and now wet the other side also.

4) Turn the Pan so that it will face the stove/electric coil directly at low heat. The Roti falls down when it is cooked.

Butter the Roti and server hot with any gravy.

Sometimes Roti falls down before it is done and you can cook it in the flame itself at low heat. It needs some experience to make these perfectly. I have been trying for the past 1 week around 5 to 6 times and now i am somewhat okay. It is the taste which forces me to make these rotis otherwise I felt the normal Roti is easy to make at home.
