How to make Roti with Rajiv Surendra

[@betsylindsay8480]

Nothing is mundane in Rajiv’s world. What a wonderful way to BE. Present, centered, well intentioned. Life goals.

[@gracemoore384]

Well said!

[@cris_here]

This is probably why I adore his videos so much!

[@sa3911]

Absolutely

[@katlyngupton5462]

*SO* well said! What a joy you are, Rajiv!

[@ChaNayNayAnime]

You summed up why I love him so much ❤

[@shan19key]

As a tamil guy from India, I am thankful that you’re sharing aspects of our culture. At times I feel like we’re too humble to put ourselves out there, causing most of the world to not understand the beauty of our culture. I am happy you’re changing that.

[@mfr336]

I'm a white American, married to a Hispanic guy, and we (whole family of 12) are crazy in love with Indian food, but have never tried Tamil specifically. We would jump at the opportunity to try it.

[@lindabyrnes4356]

I love learning about the culture.

We eat something similar, chile con carne y tortillas de Harina. Yes, all simple culture foods are comforting and delicious ❣️❣️❣️

This was a beautiful letter to his auntie. I learned how to make the "perfect" sweet potato pie from my mom before dementia hit. She never measured anything. When I asked her to break it down for this "modern" woman. At 80+, she was able to give me measurements down to the smallest "dash and sprinkle". I made sure to write it down. Hers was the only pie I liked. She passed in 2016 at 92. I cherish and honor her so much.

[@Livingalittle]

Thanks for sharing the story 🌸 I must appreciate my blessings when they around

[@maudline]

Awww that is so sweet ❤

[@lohio1587]

I grew up in Nigeria and this is how we cook, by eye, no measurements. You just get a ‘feel’ for when it’s right. Loved this video.

[@danitaaaas]

In Philippines too! But i never really learned this method so I read cookbooks.

[@BrandonGrew]

I would LOVE to see how you would recommend making chai. There are so many recipes online and it’s hard to know what’s traditionally based. I drink chai with milk every morning but use the store-bought concentrates. I’d love to learn a homemade replacement from you! ☕️

[@lehewitt]

I learned in India. Half milk (whole milk-dairy is big in India, so cow’s milk), half water. Bring to boil. Use tea like Red Label Lipton from an Indian store. Looks like little grains, not like leaves (Indians call it “dust tea” I think in English). I use 2 level teaspoons per cup. I only use either ginger-slice a few pieces from a fresh root, or just cardamom-take a few pods, pound up, add to milk/water mixture. Too many kinds of masala just muddy the taste, to me. Once it boils, turn off, and let steep a few minutes. Add sugar to taste. Strain into cups. Ginger chai is great for colds!

[@Jen-pz6qg]

Yes, I also would love to see how Rajiv makes chai!

[@YinYanUzumaki]

@@lehewitt that’s a good recipe . Here is some finer details that might help refine the taste : Ratios of milk to water is a personal preference . 1:1 is a good start . My personal favourite is 1 part water and 3 parts milk Half to 1 teaspoon per cup of tea leaves ( final result ) depending on the tea leaves Always add to only after water has boiled ( for more refined tea flavour instead of muddy excessively bitter tea ) . Let the tea boil with water for sometime ( too much boiling will make it off or butter tasting ) . Add ur choice of spices ( mine is more ginger + one pod of cardamom + half or less of a one clove) . Now add milk and let it boil for sometime i it’ll you see a layer of cream hardened on top . Add ur choice of sweetener in cup( I use jaggery but if you were to add white sugar you should add that right after spiced and let it cook for a minute before adding milk ) There you have it - one of the r best versions you would wait to have . Good luck

[@rupalishankerarthub]

@lehewitt your way is perfect with a small difference. After boiling to make the concoction called chai or masala chai u get streetside in most North Indian cities after it comes to a boil u need to reduce the flame and let it simmer / half boil for at least 3-4 minutes. That way all the flavours come together...the tea dust (exactly right chai is NOT made from tea leaves), the ginger, the cardamom and sometimes ground whole black pepper. I boil until the tea and other stuff gets a nice colour like light caramel. Also we add sugar to the water and milk mixture right in the beginning.

[@lehewitt]

@@rupalishankerarthub Agreed, though I sometimes let it just steep and not boil too much as I’ve boiled it over so many times! 😅 Black pepper I believe is common in Western India; not seen it used much in the Northeast where my husband’s family is from.

[@KiranSinggih]

This man is true artist. The way he do thing just like a poet, the way he keep his traditions, the way he dress himself, decorate his house and even his cooking are amazing.. Every single video crafted beautifully. I can't get enough of all his life hacks, cooking, ironing etc. Love it all. You are so amazing.

[@lizzies9307]

My family is Ukrainian, and our recipes that were handed down are pierogi (which we call varenyky), cabbage rolls and borscht. It's really interesting to see how across very different cultures, there always seems to exist some very simple, very basic foods, but which take quite some time and practice to make perfectly. Such a gift to have these recipes from our loved ones. ❤️ Thanks for sharing Rajiv

[@Questinia1]

When Rajiv was saying how he thought of Auntie Sha's roti at a fancy restaurant, I flashed on how I'd think of pierogi in a similar situation.

[@utahdan231]

@@Questinia1making good pierogi / it’s plural/ is not easy. The dough is essential. It must be thin , soft and elastic. After reheating must stay the same way. Making raviolis in Italy is an art. Same with pierogi. We have plenty of awful pierogi in stores.

[@magorzatasanchez736]

@@utahdan231 so true about that last part AND they call them pierogies 😖

Never thought making roti could be beautiful. I do it everyday and have never paused to think about it even once. Thanks, Rajiv

[@MagisterialVoyager]

Isn't he just delightful? I'm so happy he shares these things with us!

[@toipen]

It is so important to get hand-me-down/traditional/family recipes from relatives and then to pass them on to others. Glad you were so observant of your auntie!

[@wanderer7600]

looking at all the videos of people in countryside cottages away from society made me feel like thats a level of peace and contentment that i could never achieve with the responsibilities of an urban life that i cant run from. BUT THIS. looking at rajiv's videos and his way of life make me believe in achievable standards of living a slow ,conscious,centered and intentional urban life ❤

[@m.a_sky_walker]

My Ma was the best at making roti, but she used to always make roti to fundraise for my cousins soccer team- so she always made huge amounts, never using measurements and her favourite term was “just put, just put”! There was a lot of observation that had to go on to decipher what “just put” meant, so I can totally relate!! Thank you for your explanation of the process for smaller amounts Rajiv- dozens will always be eaten, but I’m more likely to make a smaller serving and feel better equipped to handle and perfect the recipe with this method🙏🏽

[@lizzies9307]

This made me laugh 😂 my Nana was the same but she'd say "just go like this" why do they never seem to understand how vague they're being?!

[@rosezingleman5007]

I call these folks the “old hands” experts. Be it surgery, carpentry, or cooking it’s absolutely true that an affinity for “technique” is either inborn or learned by osmosis from another “old hands” expert. That’s why the recipes we learn when we’re barely knee-high are so so classic. They taste of home, family, comfort, and belonging.

[@cbass2755]

It’s so sweet and wonderful at the same time. The history of cooking and learning from our elder generations should never be lost. This young man will have his Auntie with him forever, and you too. So sweet and loving to me anyways….

My mum was the same when I tried to learn how to bake cakes. As a teen it was SO frustrating when she said "you just put it in!"🤦🏻‍♀️ She did however start telling people that I make the best Pavlovas 🥰

I love how you aren’t giving any measurements. That’s how the women in my family (and now me) cook and it just makes sense once you get it. Frustrating to figure out but once you have that way of knowing, measuring stops making sense. I love that you honor that. Your videos give me life ❤

[@fibienn250]

This brings back childhood memories of my mother’s roti. It wasn’t until I was an adult and eating at good Indian restaurants that I discovered mum can’t cook roti. 😂

[@myrradine]

The alchemical art of roti-making with Rajiv. Thank you for bringing joy and beauty into our lives. As a fellow Tamilian, I’m so appreciative of seeing aspects of my culture imbued into your video. I have to credit Nicolas Fairford as it was hearing him mention you that brought me to your glorious channel. Fare thee well in 2024, Rajiv. You are a gentle blessing indeed in this oft chaotic world.

[@sarahnor]

as an asian person who also comes from a culture of winging it while cooking, i love this video so much! at the end of the day, it's about cooking for yourself and for the ones you love. you don't need precise measurements, you just need practice and knowing what you like in food. however this method is tough when you want to share recipes with others. i'm still an amateur cook but learning new recipes has always been an interesting time because i get to tweak it to my own tastes.

[@gabrielaproske3429]

Hi Rajiv! In my culture, they are called Tortillas and the procedure Is just the same. I am amazed! Warm regards Gabriela

[@extracucumbers]

That’s so funny I was thinking the exact same thing! When I was a kid, we used to make flour tortillas by hand, very similar process

[@loretta7851]

My mother-in-law taught me how to make chapatis in India. They use a very wide shallow stainless steel dish and it took me many years to get it right I have been making chapati,paratha,Loli (they are Sindhi) Indian flatbread for 40 years. My son‘s name is also Rajiv and he has written a book called “Colorful Palate, which I hope someday you will read.. I like how you give the little subtle tips with no measurement and this is what makes all the difference is those little techniques

[@lehewitt]

Totally different than North Indian roti/chapati that my beloved mother-in-law taught me to make. But the same idea-no measurements, do it by feel. Also, fascinated you have the same mirror I inherited from my grandmother. 😊

[@sandykay178]

Curious to try this as my family background is Punjabi and our roti/chapathi is very different. My mum makes her dough in bulk using 10kg of flour at a time, she even uses her thermomix to help mix the dough and then portions off and places in to freezer bags. Defrosts it every day. Her tava is a Le Crueset cast iron griddle on the flat side and she will press down and rotate the roti as it cooks so it puffs up. Light and fluffy every time. There’s nothing better than fresh roti with a light coating of butter. Thanks for sharing your Aunty Shamini’s recipe.

It made me smile when you mentioned about eating in Michelin star restaurants, high-falutin eateries .. but you enjoy the roti and curry the most.

Roti is like my Proustian madeline - it elicits so many memories and just a feeling of warmth and wellbeing. Homemade is best, but it's a lot of work, so props to the aunties who are still doing it.

I have lived in TX for almost 40 years now. I CANNOT live without my South Indian curries, dals and rice. We have tons of North Indian cuisine in every city, but authentic South Indian restaurants are a rarity, because the South Indian cuisine, especially the vegetarian cuisine is not ‘internationalized’ like chicken, or lamb curries. The only way to get good South Indian food is to cook it myself - even now with tons of Indian restaurants all over the place So I cook at home most of the time. But I still say honestly that I would never have the PATIENCE that Rajiv’s videos exhibit. He takes me back in time to India when families cooked together, and each meal was a feast, however simple.

[@joycewirth3022]

It's kind of funny, that today I was looking for the recipe handed down from my grandma to my aunts on making an Italian cookie made in great abundance at Christmas time (Yes, I know it's March). Remembering my Grandma, preparing and baking them in the basement kitchen, in the middle of the table, combining all the ingredients and never measuring them. When I asking she would say, "Oh just a little bit or a small amount of". WHAT! So I had to smile and laugh out loud as you related how your Aunty related how to do it properly to you. With that said , it took many a day to observe and take notes, and it was trial and error for me, and you know it's true we never make them to taste as good as theirs. Thanks again, love all that you expose to use, appreciating your time spent in teaching us something wonderful. Jersey Ann (my nickname) from NJ

I had to chuckle when you noted how your Auntie measures ingredients. My Grandmother , Mother and Auntie’s never seemed to measure anything (in the normal sense) either. I’m of Indonesian heritage. So, being taught how to cook traditional cuisine with numerous spices in measurements of something equal to “the tip of your little finger” or the “palm of your hand” could be quite daunting. Paying close attention in the kitchen was essential!
