Know the disadvantages of keeping kneaded dough in the refrigerator and its effects on health –
Rotis made from refrigerated dough tend to be hard and less soft, making them less enjoyable to eat.
Refrigerating dough can lead to a gradual decrease in its nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals.
Kneaded dough may develop an unpleasant smell in the fridge, which can affect the taste of the rotis.
Fridge humidity can make the dough wet, altering its texture and making it harder to roll out.
If kept for too long, the dough may develop harmful bacteria, posing health risks.
Rotis made from refrigerated dough may cause acidity, especially if the dough is a few days old.
Keeping dough in the fridge for an extended period can increase the risk of food poisoning, as it spoils faster.
Cold dough can be heavy on the stomach and may cause digestive problems, including stomach pain and gas.
If you must keep dough in the fridge, do so for only 2–3 hours, then use it for rotis. In cases of necessity, up to 6–7 hours is manageable.
Do not use dough that has been in the fridge for an extended time. If it has changed color and turned dark, it has likely gone bad.
