[@tammi67able]

Still making these and they are so simple and delicious, thanks for showing us the easy way. I’m an American 🇺🇸 woman and I never thought I would be able to make these, but I can now thank too you. Thank you and God bless! ❤❤❤

[@myasolow7579]

I am an Rn & the best part of working in inner city Hospitals is working with Nurses from all over the World. I worked @ Northwestern in Chicago way back in the 1970-80s, I think I remember having this filled with a Veggie Curry (potato & Cauliflower) wrapped like a big egg roll, DEliCiouS. Those were the days we all thought we would never loose touch with each other sadly life got in the way. I am very grateful that I still do have two friends from that time which is amazing. Thank U I enjoyed this so much,

[@TriniSimpleLiving]

I agree see my videos

[@lawvawnisrael4853]

I've never made roti myself, however I use to buy them from a store front restaurant that have now closed. So, I now see how to make them myself. Thank you for the video, and it was well explained. You did a great job.

[@milos.8705]

I would just like to clarify that generally roti and paratha are not interchangeable. The roti (of north Indian origin) is a simple, two layered, puffed-up bread made of fine wheat flour (atta) whereas paratha (of south Indian origin) is a layered flatbread made with all-purpose flour (maida). It seems to me that you made the latter and it looks very good! Keep up the good work!

[@HSJ1076]

It is interchangeable, within the numerous variations.. Malay term for what North Indians call paratha is roti... Chapati/phulkaa/roti is an interchangeable term for the same thing in the North....

[@DKIFf346]

OMG!! Thank you so much. I tried the recipe with ghee and it came out perfect. The way I remember it growing up. The addition of the yeast is a game changer. My husband is so happy right now. I used to make curries and always had to buy the roti skin to complete my meal....not anymore thanks to this super easy recipe.

[@siggymo]

Thank you!!! I’ve watched your videos and finally made it just now and I can’t stop smiling. This reminds me of Trinidad buss up shot in a kind of way and I always wanted this soft texture of roti! It’s sooooo soft!! You are the best! Everything worked out and my little family and I in Russia, will be having these tonight. Thank you a million times over!

[@Metemgee]

Love it. Thank you for trying and sharing and hello Russia!

My Trinidadian landlord brought me some roti once when he came up from NYC and I loved them. They had a lovely olive oil taste. No place around me makes them, so I appreciate your tutorial. They look wonderful. I cannot wait to try your method. I also enjoyed the quality of your voice. It sounds like you speak with a smile on your face.

[@Babziboo]

This was great to watch. It's informative, easy to understand and well demonstrated. I truly appreciate an excellent tutorial and you did that, sis!

Well well well. I’ve tried and disastrously failed and thought this is just not working for me UNTIL I found this here video, you made it look so simple I just had to try one more time and wha la 😳😁👏👏👏i did it, I made paratha roti and it turned out so darn good 😌 THANK YOU so friggin much😁😁😁😁you’re the best.

[@shadows4419]

Indian use whole wheat flour called atta to make roti. All you need is 3 cups of atta and try making it into a rough ball by sprinkling water to it. Once the ball is made , sprinkle some extra water and cover it and leave for 20 to 30 mins. When you remove the cover the atta will be soft and you just knead the atta to make smooth atta for roti.

[@paulr.andries390]

Love that you gave other methods. They look and taste the same. God bless you in the mile high city

[@jemstanley7203]

My first duccessful effirt after millions of tries. I won't trll yoyr grandma but the yeast is thr thing.😋. Thank you.

[@kennethr5296]

100% agree! I've doing it since November. I'm about to do some this week. Along with some curry goat.

[@leolady23]

Awesome...an easy way as well when you place the roti in cloth, cover and give a couple whacks with rolling pin....😊

[@shujjomukhi3654]

If you put a clothe under the pain then the pain wouldn't move.

[@shakilaahmed5106]

Hello Metemgee, I consider myself a Roti Master and I love your video. The fact that you live in Denver only made me envious. So, I have decided to donate a helpful handsome hint to further suppose that super soft rise to your roti. By adding some very hot water to the dough will achieve a fantastic texture but it will likely kill the yeast and create a strange tackiness so probably with this hot water method leave out the yeast. Due to the high temperature of the water - probably best to make this dough in the mixer. The dough should not achieve a ribbon stage. Love from London

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

Ms this is not a roti but rather flaky LACHA PORATHA. Awesome you have done very well and a perfect result👍🌹🌹🌹

[@junacalica4517]

Making roti simplified! Thanks for the video tutorial. I made roti several times already since I came across your video. They came out perfect each time I made. My family just love the roti. I found also a simple but very good Guyanese Lamb curry recipe online and it's a great partner for this roti recipe. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@nicolemain4727]

First time I tried a different recipe with no yeast or baking powder and it flopped. This was my second time and they came out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. Now I will make them weekly.

[@loislash2669]

Thank you! My Mom & I tried this recipe as a Mother's Day activity, and it was memorable & delicious (to accompany our curry crab!)! This will be our "go to" recipe. I'm no kitchen queen like my Mom but she greatly appreciated this method as her rotis never stay soft. I feel confident in trying it by myself. Great job!

It’s so funny that this video came up on my feed again, as this was the video that helped me make my first proper roti! I can even see my original comment from 3 years ago lol. Now I’m at a stage where I’m looking to start selling my roti and I wondered if you and your viewers could give any advice on the best way to package the roti when selling e.g. Do you buy bags, or just wrap in foil etc and any tips for how long you or your customers can store the roti for etc? I’d really appreciate some advice pls. Thank you x
