with MIUI 6 or MIUI 7 Global ROM

by simply using MI-Recovery

Summary:
This simple step-by-step guide explains how to root the MIUI 6 or MIUI 7 Global ROM on your Redmi 1S by onlyusing the stock MI-Recovery. It does not require installing a custom recovery, installing fastboot on your PC or even using a PC at all.

By following this guide you will get a new app SuperSU by which you can control the root permission for your apps that are requesting root. You will not see these apps listed in Security > Permissions > Root access. 

In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates. You can also easily unroot in the settings of the SuperSU app.
