| | as below | Explanation:
There's no exact word like MOTLI in Gujarati, however nearest matching Gujarati words (like ROTLI as you're aware of) are drawn here below anticipating that either of them might match to your lookout:
1) "Matli" = A small sized earthen vessel used by and large for storing drinking water and other shaped items used for storing eatables and sweets etc.
-> Varient:
-> "Matlu" = An earthen vessel with size bigger than small sized "MATLI"
2) "Potli" = A small bundle or a packet
-> Varient:
-> "Potlu" = A bundle or a packet with size bigger than small sized "POTLI"
3) "Gotli" = A Stone in Fruit (especially Mango)
4) "Chotli" = A tuft of hair
5) "Batli" = A bottle, also referred in Gujarati especially to refer a hard drink bottle

Have brought you best possible wordings closer to and in line with your source word (along with your explicitely drawn example, ROTLI).
Should I go away to your said wordings, it could possibly end up in drawing hundreds of more examples like MOTI (on removing L from MOTLI). So I hope above drawn examples in the beginning help you well. |

Explanation:
It could be a typo-error/unclear audio sound the right word could be 'moti' meaning a big or fat (ie a female or an object being big or fat).
or addressing a female with affection saying 'tu motli chey' meaning you are a fatty.
I do agree with Vimal's explanation.
