I kid, the roti made me hungry! I always am surprised how ladies never burn their fingers, I’d be a disaster even attempting to make one

Re: Niki’s Video Tutorials: How to Make Roti

Yes, please!

I make it slightly differently though. I flip it only twice. Once when the bottom side gets slightly brown, I flip it like you did in the beginning. I then let the other side cook completely (“saiking” it with a cloth) and then flip it the second time and saik that side too and that’s when the roti puffs up completely, sign of a roti well made. If it’s too thin or too thick or if it hasn’t been cooked properly, it won’t puff up.

I wasn’t prepared this time, but I usually phulao my rotis too. This one was a larger roti so I just saikoed it.

Re: Niki’s Video Tutorials: How to Make Roti

Yea, I make it like Huma too. Only flip it three times. Also, we have gas stove so I don’t make it on the tawa after the second flip. So I let it get translucent like you did on the first side. Flip and let it cook and then flip to cook the first side directly over top the flame (without the tawa). At this time if the second side wasn’t completely cooked because I was being impatient I will finish the cooking over the flame.)=

Shak, I have no idea how my our moms don’t burn their fingers. I use tongs to flip the roti.

Re: Niki’s Video Tutorials: How to Make Roti

Niksik · September 22, 2012, 6:59pm

Re: Niki’s Video Tutorials: How to Make Roti

The whole idea is to make one big rota and serve it to the entire family!
