Innate Cooking Talent?

sigh well, i can make a good range of things even though i don’t do so very often. from salans to kababs and roasts and things like lasagna and quiches. howeverrrrr, i’m still crap at making roti’s. i don’t even bother to try now and rather leave it until it’s necessary for me to do it everyday. the only long term practice i got was a few years back when my parents went for hajj and i took care of the siblings for over month. food side of stuff was fine and i tried a lot of different stuff but i think in that whole time i just made a handful of ‘good’ rotis. most of them were not round and a bit too crispy. that really put me off. i’m one of those people who is usually good at something quickly and it frustrates me that i couldn’t master that.

I have the exact same problem.. I’m the kind of person who’s always been good at everything I’ve tried to do, and I have never cooked anything that hasn’t tasted good (alhumulillah!) but roti is one thing that I still cannot do, even after 3 yrs of being married.

And on top of that, my husband LOVES homemade roti. but my rotis are always either hard or rubbery, and they are always half under-cooked and half burned :S
