In a large bowl, mix together the flour, coconut, salt, onion, and chilies. Add in the water and grease your hands with the butter to avoid the dough sticking to your palms. Begin to knead the dough. It should come together to form a ball and not be too sticky. You can adjust the consistency by adding more flour if it’s too sticky or more water if it’s too dry. Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls. Flour your board and rolling pin and roll each ball into a round roti about 1/4-inch thick. Heat a flat griddle pan over medium heat and add the roti. Cook each side until golden brown. Serve hot with desired curry.
