Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
A clarification: So your husbands go to work and then cook their own roti/food as well?
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
We have one of these atta machines from Pakistan.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
wow never realised sooo many women do not make rotis!! i could not live without home made roti which i make myself, even when we are in Pak and it seems the norm to run out and get naan and rotis from outside, i still make myself tawa ke roti.
aata machine is the best device i have in the kitchen.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
if he wants ghar ki roti, he goondhs aata and I make roti. I cannot goondh aata at all

Nopes I make him loads of yummy food just get tayyar roti. It's not an issue.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
I don't make roti either, well I've made it a couple of times here and there but not on routine basis. If needed I will have no qualms about making it.
besides when I cook its mostly non desi stuff that is good enough to wayy over ride the typical desi roti salan.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
When it comes to women, rotis and husbands there are three types of cases:
1) The subservient 2) The activist antagonist 3) The sublimely maternal
The subservient wife will feel afraid or guilty for not making rotis for her husband The activist antagonist wife views the notion of cooking rotis for her husband as a symbol of male domination and resists The sublimely maternal wife views herself as a greater human who must feed the husband creature because he is deficient and immature.
The number 2s - work well with automen - An automan is a man who does his own things himself ...
Just observation nothing else ... I guess my wife's prayers were answered when I turned out to be gluten intolerant ... but hey - they have gluten free flour ... more power to the home made gluten-free naans ...
I'm number 1.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
I make roti’s 3 times a day.. and with 7 years of practice my rotis can’t get any rounder or puffier.. because they are perfect every time

This bothers me... A lot!
I go to work too... I make food when I get home! What is it different about men working that they shouldn't do anything once they get home?
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
Does it take long to clean that machine
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
Local take away - 4 roti's for £1 why bother making them ;)

The comment was with reference to the women who do not work. The intention behind my comment was simple. Lets reverse the thinking. You are a working woman and say your husband is a stay at home dad. Would you be okay with you coming home from work and going straight into the kitchen?
I ask this as it is a common refrain amongst working women that they have jobs too so why should they be expected to come home and go straight into the kitchen? You I assume agree with the sentiment?
I shall wait for someone to get annoyed with my usage of the word work and ask if i am implying housewives don't do any work.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
My mother would have a heart attack if I told her I was going to use the aata machine 
She’d be like koi haal nai, aata gunnan che kina time lagda hai, hath hilana azaab hai tuwade wastay!
Kneading the dough is much faster I think. Takes 5 minutes or less. But then I make rotis almost everyday for my parents so I don’t mind the aata/roti making at all. I haven’t tasted store-bought/frozen rotis but I’m sure they don’t compare to taaza taaza homemade rotis. 
And I wouldn’t make a batch of them either, I’d rather take 10 minutes to make a couple of fresh ones.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
Im like Huma! I make chapatis 2 times a day, been making them for 5 years now. Just takes 10 minutes! Kneading is easy too. You just need practice.
So fresh roti all the way. Store bought chapatis and parathas taste weird. Nothing beats fresh roti no matter how many excuses one has to not make them. =p

Even if a woman is not working outside her home, she shouldn't be forced into making roti if she absolutely doesn't like it. A man will not die with a roti from the grocery store, tandoor, or restaurant.
Re: If your hasban ask you to make roti?
You never hear any man complaining about changing the tires, fitting the bulbs, taking out the trash, opening jars and so on and so forth......... yet making chhoti si masoom si roti makes your all unpakistani aurats egos hurt..

For that to happen, we'd obviously need a woman who feels forced to make a roti for him.

I can fit a bulb, take trash out, open jars, etc and I am not whining about it.
