Hi I had a fear of making buss up shot and had used many other recipes with not much success. I used your recipe a couple days ago. I must say I was impressed and my roti came out fantastic. Perfectly soft and light and flaky. My confidence went through the roof. Good job with your simple and straightforward recipes. Thank you for helping me make the perfect roti.

[@joyfuloven]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@elizabeththora1211]

I enjoy ur recipes thank god continue to bless ur hands 🙏

[@user-cz8kp9ij4l]

The use of milk helps make the paratha soft

[@kimoymohan9759]

I made this recipe this morning and it came out perfect, kneaded the flour last night, rolled it with the fat, left it overnight in ziplock bags and cooked it this morning, it came out so tender, soft and flakey. Thank you for this recipe and for explaining every step of the process, you are a great tutor 👍

[@Savitri12346]

[@mirandawalcott8450]

Beautiful presentations and a yummy outcome. I tried it today because you made it seem so simple and interesting. First time mixing with milk. Honestly , I ran out of milk , but I had powdered milk on hand. I followed how much to mix for a 8oz glass and went on from there. Yep, added the vinegar also. So yes, it's possible with powdered milk also. I added a pinch of salt to the recipe ...I loved the softness and layers as I clapped 👏 my roti. It stood in place and not buss up like a rag cloth ...it was perfection ....only difference ( in my openion) , it tasted a bit too sweet. .but never the less , will keep this recipe and 1/2 the sugar part. ..keep up the good job beautiful chef .

[@FaizulHamid]

the #1 roti video, thank you, but never saw one with vinegar, will give it a try. Update, I get lots of compliments for my roti based on your recipe. I make in my mixer and had to add a about 2 cup liquid - but this may depend on the flour. Followed your recipe down to the rolling pin :)

[@joyfuloven]

Enjoy 😊 🙏🏼

[@user-xl6xu6vd9e]

well done 😘

[@nita8619]

Thx Erica

[@marvakirk9180]

Hi Erica I tried this recipe immediately. It came out great. Can you give the recipe for 100 Bush up shuts.

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, thank you for you feedback. How many roti did you get from the recipe? To make 100 it’s going to be at least 18 times the original measurements depending on the size. I recommend making batches of 4 measurements at a time so it’s easier to mix.

[@evaabdul5101]

Perfect without the salt thanks

[@marvakirk9180]

Thanks

[@mayadookran258]

I learn something new the vinegar

[@sharmeintan-koon8959]

congratulations

[@faridaali190]

Hi Erica love watching your videos the parathas looks so soft and delicious. I have a question what is purpose of the vinegar in the dough

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, thank you! 😊 The vinegar helps keep the roti soft and flaky.

[@faridaali190]

@@joyfuloven thank you I must try that

[@debbiep99]

Essentially it makes it buttermilk by adding the vinegar.

[@michellelara-arthur5467]

Since you’re using vinegar, would you experiment with buttermilk ? Thank you 😊

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, great question. I've never used buttermilk for this recipe, but I've had great feedback from people who have tried it and said it works beautifully. Let me know if you try it. 😉

Hi, you can definitely try it. Let me know how it works. 😊

[@anchamp3514]

After you paste it and make the final Loyas, how long do you leave it to soak before cooking?

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, it can rest for at least 30-40 minutes. It also refrigerates and freezes well, just thaw it until it’s almost room temperature and cook as usual.

[@arifasinanan7747]

Were can I get a roller like yours being checking around in persad y do they use vinegar

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, the vinegar keeps the roti soft and silky. Also I got my rolling pin on Amazon.com

[@unachow9023]

Hi Erica Where did you purchase your mixing bowl with the outer floral design. It’s perfect for dough prepping. Hope you pick up my comments as this video aired 6months ago

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, I got it at a Home Store outlet 2 years ago. It’s a Pioneer Woman brand. 😊

[@unachow9023]

Thank you soo! much. Yes Pioneer Woman brand do carry some unusual kitchen items. I’ll keep checking and order 1 online if they’re still available. Merry🎄n best wishes for 2023. Looking forward to many more recipes in ‘23 from your channel ❣️

[@keshiadrayton5163]

Where did u purchase the flour mat ?

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, I got it on Amazon. Search for silicone pastry mat with measurements. Choose a size according to your work space.

[@annmairenicholas4362]

Do you make Sada roti? I don't ever seem to get it right.

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, yes. Ingredients: 4 cups flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp yeast (makes a soft roti 😉) 1/2 tsp salt (optional) 1 tbsp sugar (optional) 1 1/2 cups warm water (or as needed) Mix dry dry ingredients together. Add water gradually until the dough comes together. Knead 2 minutes until a smooth, soft-medium dough forms. Cover and let rest for 15-30 minutes. You’re ready to roll and cook the roti. 😉

[@karenayoungchee410]

Ok. Never thought u use vinegar and milk. Interesting. I would normally just add some powdered milk. It also eats nice with just cheese. Lol

[@sallyali7175]

I always get tougher roties after an hour of making them , is it because we use whole wheat flour and NOT all purpose flour ? 😕 please advise dear.

[@joyfuloven]

Hi, it could possibly be because of the whole wheat flour or the ratio of flour to water. The vinegar is meant to make the roti soft and silky, but also keep it soft. Make sure when you make the roti, place it into a lined cooler and wrap it immediately. The steam keeps the roti soft. 😉
