Gol Roti, Chokor Paratha

Why Desi emphasise on gol roti? Girls are considered to learn making roti, when they come up with gol roti. drawing ka muqabla hai?

Fresco near Burns Road Karachi, sell chokor Arabic parathas, so I think gol roti is a sub-continent phenomeno. :hmmm:

Any views opposite to this? Any experience of seeing different shape rotis in different cultures?

Re: Gol Roti, Chokor Paratha

Exactly, pet ko kia pata ke niwala gol rotis etoota hai ya teRhi meRhi roti se. phir bhi ‘teRhi meRhi’ roti is something like ab-shagun among many desis

Even branded naan, partathas (like Dawn) are available in chokor shape, means no market for chokor.. teRhi meRhi roti

Nahi mein sari vegetables nahi khata .......lol

Dawn Parathas itnay mazay ke to nhe hotay waisay

Rotis are goal because you start with a rounded ball of dough (peRaa) and when you roll it out with the bailan, or by throwing up in the air like pizza and chapati makers do, it ends up becoming round.

Chokor paratha starts with square shadow folded piece of dough, so it flattens out as square shape.

Btw my mother in law makes triangular shape paratha. My guess is that she takes the square shape and fold one corner over the diagonally opposite corner.

My Ammi always made meetha parathas in a square shape…man they were good! :yummy:
