When does your hubby knead the dough? After coming back from work or weekends, etc? I'm asking cuz mine doesn't even get his glass of water if I "accidentally" forget it on the counter....n his excuse is "cuz he just came from work" sighs
DH is not in any way perfect. It bothers him if I spend too much time in the kitchen , doing useless things (his words), whereas I can spend that time with him or the family.
Today for example, my DD made the 'atta' when she returned from school. For her it is the ultimate Play Doh. My hubby may make the atta on the weekends and sometimes when he comes from work. It does not take time at all, 10 mins or so. We make enough for 2-3 days. And no, it does not go bad. This evening, DH returned from work, and he and our son laid out the table without my asking them to do so. At other times, i have to look around for help.
I understand about the glass of water thing. My FIL is like that. I think to this day, I have not seen him pick up a glass of water or a glass by himself. DH is different in that way. Again not perfect, no one is, but he helps with the dishes at times, does his own laundry when he has to and more. My MIL had issues with him doing things, but he very firmly said 'it is between me and my wife".
^ mash'Allah, that's still a lot compared to some hubbys. My in-laws n hubby are the same, won't even take their plates back to the kitchen. They leave the plates there with their "jhoothi BONES" in them and go wash their hands and go about their businesses.Even when I'm sick n laying down after making dinner, they still come up to me to tell me khana laga do! It doesn't help that the in-laws are like that so naturally they don't even want hubby to even get water for himself. I do everything, including ironing everyone's clothes! Masha'Allah mash'Allah masha'Allah you're lucky, alhamdulillah :)
I had the hardest time with making rotis/atta gundna when i first got married. MIL wanted me o make about 50-75 rotis every other day. She would send it to SILs, etc. Eventually i started making them once a week because my school started. I would have to make 150 rotis... It used to take about 2-3 hours.
Now, we moved out so i make them daily if i feel like it or not at all if i dont really want to. Hubby has started helping out too. Before he wouldn't even get a glass of water. But now he sets up the table, picks up the dishes, folds both our laundry, and occasionally helps me clean the room, restroom, etc. and he works 6 days a week so his help is much appreciated. Hence, i dont mind making rotis for him at all. It takes me about 10 minutes ( less if i have dough in the fridge already. I only make 3-4 at a time and a paratha once a week.
I have churned my own butter and trust me it tastes far better ... I swear no lies ... It's not something I will do on a routine basis, but I guess we should all learn how to do it.
My wife makes awesome rotis and parathas. However, very early on in our marriage she decided it was not worth the effort, so she only makes parathas during Ramadan and thats it.
when I got married I didt knew how to make roti,i bought tht atta kneading machine but it became more difficult but after many trials I finally learned kneading roti phr ulti pulti shape jasi bhi thi I made it for huby but I don't like making roti especially making 2 tmes a day so now I make roti only in lunch n in dinner we either make rice, pasta, lasania, grill chicken or burgers :)
I like to make roti while people are sitting at the table so that they get them hot off the tawa......and garam, garam paratha is the only way to have paratha!!!
garam paratha and thandi mala'ee...........mmmm, mmmm, good!
^ that!
I make roti because I LIKE roti, so I make it fairly often. the store bought just doesn't taste the same to me.
husband is ambivalent about it ... he would eat rice every single day of his life if he had his way.
^ its just practice, n its actually easy if you are only two ppl , my huby gives bell to me from signal is start making roti by the time he reaches garm garm roti tawa se uter rahi hoti n I have got this ulta tawa,
I’m surprised at the number of people who don’t actually make homemade roti. I’ll have to show my mum this thread I used to avoid making roti like the plague, but practice really does make perfect. In fact, I actually don’t mind making them anymore.
I can understand going without homemade roti but what do you guys do about samosay roti? Please don’t say you don’t eat samosay.
@Bolded part: Well after a long hard days work we would like to eat some nice homemade roti(s), once we can get that then we can move on to other chores that need doing. At the end it comes back to the same point…pehlay roti bana ker do
