I am addicted to your channel. Your patties were because your recipe in the meat preparation was perfect. I can was the chicken with lemon and vinegar which is difficult with minced meat. My daughter, who has a degree in math, said that's quite clever as she love patties. Thank you. You're motivating me to try.

Nothing wrong with it popping out the edge, it means you rolled it well and the edges aren't thick with no filling. Good job ❤

Matthew I watched your video on just roti do u have to oil it twice or can you add the oil to the flour and just do it that way. By the way are you in Halifax I would buy some off you

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Hey you need to oil it twice for the layers and flakiness. Lol no I live in FL sorry. Thanks for watching

[@anitalakhicharan6340]

What is the name of the thing that you put on your seasoning in?

A mortar and pestle

Matthew why did you share this video. My O my im loosing my mind gosh love this recipe i don't eat any meat. Thank you so much. Nuff love

[@dhannasarjoo150]

Do u warm the water first or is it just pipe water?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Pipe water but make sure it's on the warm setting as it comes out

[@soniasolomon9842]

Hi one quick question do you clap the roti or not

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Not this kind

[@satymaraj1275]

My roti always buss too. Did not know that is was because of overcooking the aloo and the water content.

[@ceeramah7564]

Help pls !!! My child loves potato roti but when I stuff it w the potato and roll it out it burst!!!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You are probably over filling the potato or not draining it enough. That usually happens when that mixture is too wet. Also it happens if the dough it too stiff. Also if you overstuff or aren’t gentle enough when you roll it. It definitely take a lot of practice. As you saw on the video some of mine were bursting too.

[@jason22212225]

I know this is a very un Guyanese thing to ask but do you guys have any idea how much calories one of this roti would have using the above roti. My mom wants to make this but I'm on a diet and I LOVE potato roti.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Hmmm Im not sure. You can possibly say it is like 1/3-1/2 cup flour per roti and about 1/4 cup potato and about 3 tsp. Oil for each. And some salt. The other ingredients don't really have significant calories (onions, scallions, pepper, geera, etc). Hope that helps a bit

[@monasingh2519]

So unlike aloo choka the only thing you didn't add was oil??

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

It really is aloo choka that is stuffed inside. I don’t make aloo choka with oil I usually put a little butter.

[@ZackandLeslieShow]

Can you make roti using self rising flour?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

No because there is too much baking powder in the self rising flour.
