🥚🥛*whispers* if you add a bit of milk, egg, baking soda and blend a bit of rye or whole wheat flour in, your oil roti is going to be even softer and heartier than everybody elses. Also oiling your hands, basin, and dough makes it easier to work with ;) Great recipe! 🥛🥚

Hi Matthew! I just recently found your channel and I wanted to say a big THANK YOU! Growing up as a mixed kid, I didn't get the chance to learn all of these recipes. Now that I'm older, I'm caring for my elderly Guyanese father and I've been finding it difficult cooking for him. I just made him some oil roti, pumpkin, channa masala and bhajee for the first time for him after watching your videos and it was a complete success! It's the first time he's told me that my food "eat nice" xD Thank you so very much!

Hi Matthew, I've been really grateful for your videos lately. I play this one, like 50 times, as I make roti just to make sure I feel confident as I make it. I'm Guyanese and didn't grow up knowing how to cook many things, but with COVID and being homesick, I've been learning how to make my favorites - through your videos and my parents' advice.

[@meatcranium4280]

Roti brings back memories of High School. My Best friend’s parents were from Trinidad and Guayana. His mom use to make Roti all the time. Awesome Stuff. I love it. I make pita bread, and I’m sure it wouldn’t take much to convert it into Roti.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

It really is some good stuff. You can actually use this roti as a wrapping for anything really. I made it for one of my teachers once and she wrapped up shredded Cuban pork in it. All you have to do is make sure not to clap it too much so that it doesn't tear, and then you can use it as a tortilla/pita.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 No worries, all I will say is that when you are editing be careful not to cut it so that you're interrupting yourself when you talk. You will probably be able to edit your work better if you wrote yourself a basic script then you will know where to pause to allow for editing and that will improve your style. In terms of presentation though, you're a natural. xx
