Hi Reshmi - from a digestion standpoint, it's best to wash and soak the daal for at least 2 hours (more is better) and then drain that water. Then proceed as usual. Also, the water that you drained after you cooked the daal, can be used to make a spicy soupy drink. Add zeera, ground coriander, your aamchar masala, garlic minced, etc. plus a souring agent such as tamarind or lemon juice to it - it makes for a yummy soup type drink. Can add a bit of flour to thicken it up or even add a bit of rice and cook that in it. somewhat like chole ka paani. The sweet version is called puran poli

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you for sharing! Sometimes, If I plan to make it ahead of time, I soak it but most times I don't. I will do it next time for sure 🙏🏽

[@annewarren5139]

Thanks for sharing it looks so delicious 🤤

Rashmi, You are one of my absolute favorite food youtubers ❤️ I made roti today using this method, and its the best I've ever made.. My little brother was murdered back home 3 years ago, and since then, I've been making making and selling rotioff and on, where I live in upstate New York to help my sister in-law take care of their children. You are helping in ways you may never know. May the creator continue to bless up you and your growing family..

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi Jiselle! Thank you so much for the support & kind words! Sorry to hear about your brother. It is so nice of you to help out your sister-in-law. You are a gem ❤️ Happy that the recipe turned out to be a success 🙏🏽 Blessings to you and your family!

Hi Reshmi, Thank you ever soooooo much! I finally made this right here in my very own kitchen. I was so upset when I went to a ROTI SHOP in ATL to purchase a Veggie Roti that cost me $11.00 (no meat!!!!) That's what put me on the hunt for the kind of Roti that I love. Your instructions were perfect. 🙂 Thank you!

[@reshabriella]

So, since I kinda new to making dhalpuri and not too confident about it, I watched your video and followed your steps. I could just hug you because my roti came out GREAT! On the tawa, they swell up to perfection! I am soooooo happy! Going to show everyone your video now now. Thank you for this.

[@TasteofTrini]

Virtual hug 🤗🫂 Sooo happy it was a success! I feel like a proud teacher 🙌🏽🥰 Thanks for sharing with others too ❤️

Aww nice! Appreciate it, sir 🙏🏽

[@zoeydash2907]

This is the best ever dhalpuri recipe I've seen to date (honestly, all your recipes are incredible with detailed explanations to help a novice like me!) I especially found using hot water to knead for a softer roti is a really good tip I never knew before - and will definitely be doing from now on as I am The Worst at making roti (better at making dough frisbees lol). Thank you so much Reshmi 💕. Dhalpuri is my absolute favourite ever since I was a child! I hope you and your family are all doing well and enjoy the upcoming Easter holidays. Sending you lots of love xxxxxxx

[@TasteofTrini]

Awww that's so kind of you, thank you! With practice, you will get better. I used to make frisbees when I just started too 🤣 Hope you attempt this recipe soon! Keep well and have a happy Easter also 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you! This is by far the best roti tutorial that I've seen. Im definietly going to try your method.

[@brooklyndiva23]

As a NY Rican I’ve been obsessed w/ curried chana and potatoes with dhalpuri for as long as I can remember. I was also obsessed w/ curried chicken (when I used to eat meat). I almost think I can make this😅. It looks so doable but I need to get a griddle or tawa. If I succeed, my family better watch out because we’ll be eating it often.😂 Now off to look through your videos to see if you have a recipe for doubles and my life will be complete.🤤 TYSMFS💞

I'm new to yr channel and certainly happy to have found it. I've watched yr other buss up shot video and followed the directions and recipe and for the first time I made buss up shot yesterday and my family loved it. I too was born and raised in Trinidad 🇹🇹 but grew up in New York before I migrated to Canada 🇨🇦 and now after many yrs I'm finally learning to make our island food , so I'm happy to have learned from yr videos. My next food will definitely be dhalphurie and I will be following this exact recipe for sure. Thanks for the info.

hi love your channel but is it okay if I use coconut oil because this will be my first time making dhalpuri

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi, thank you! Yes you can, but coconut oil will change the flavor. It's usually best to use a neutral oil.

[@feliciar8874]

Hi Reshmi ! Your roti looks amazing exactly the way i like it. I tried to make it today and didn’t use your measurements cause i wanted to try with a small portion first😬 my dough started cracking and easy to pull apart instead of that gummy texture you got. Can you tell me what i did wrong ? 🙈 either i used too much butter or water.. and also my rotis did not swell up while baking on the griddle. It turned into stale crackers texture 🤦🏽‍♀️Maybe not enough baking powder ? 😅 i’m sorry i’m a mess and need help 🙏🏽

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi Felicia! Sorry to hear this! Sounds like it was overcooked. It gets hard like that when it stays on the tawa too long or the heat is too high.

[@Techier868]

Although I'm not too much into the carbs of roti... I did enjoy watching this video🎉❤🎉❤ And I have to say this was some of the best looking dhalpori ( hope I spelled that correctly LOL) that I have ever seen!❤❤❤❤
