Not everyone is blessed with the ability to teach effectively and there are many examples of that type of thing here on youtube, but you are one of the exceptions to that. I so appreciated feeling like I was standing right there with you in the kitchen getting a good look at the whole procedure. BTW, just as helpful was the person behind the camera as well!! Whoever they are, it is so wonderful to have sufficient closeups that are clear and well lit to understand all the intricacies of the different steps. You were right to call the recipe simple, but still take the time and effort necessary to thoroughly show us how to accomplish good results on our own. So often I want to shout at the camera person to go in closer to the "action" so that I can get a clear view of what exactly is happening!!! Thank you SO much, I am your newest subbie!!
dellasmom Thank you so much for your kind words, it is so encouraging to know that people like you really appreciate the videos and take the time to leave me a heart warming comment! It’s friends like you that make me want to make more tutorials! I appreciate your comment from the bottom of my heart! Thank you, and God bless ❤️💜
The secret to rots puffing up like a balloon is very easy, you do not overcook the first side and in fact do not wait for the small bubbles to appear, if they do then it won't puff up well, you place the roti on a very hot tawa just for a few seconds, I mean few seconds like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 9 and 10. then immediately flip it over and allow this side to cook for a minute or so, flip over within 10 seconds is important, by this time its colour would have changed but before it starts to bubble up, any longer than about 10 seconds you will not achieve full puffing, then you cook well the second side, until you get those brown bumps, do not let bumps become too dark as you would be burning or overcooking this side, when it seems all the second side is cooked and you then flip it back to its first side, now it will balloon up mostly by itself, some people also place this side directly on cooker flames, this has a very rapid ballooning effect and cookes well , I prefer this way and it gives a slight burnt aroma, but if you kept it on the hot tawa, a light pressure from a cloth or your spatula may speed it up, this simple time trick works every time, but you must have rested the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour after kneading, because if you start rolling immediately after kneading it will not balloon up well .
A perfect or even good roti must puff up every single time - no exceptions. You're right that if the first side is cooked too long the puffing up may not happen.
I have to disagree with cooking the first side, I wait for bubbles to appear before turning it over - it's probably the side I cook the longest, then turn over and cook for second side , then turn back to the first side and it soon begins to puff up !
I am Indian and I’m brought up eating chapatis all my life. I’ve even tried it a few times myself but they turned out to be a disaster. They always turn out hard and stiff as a plate and mostly burnt!. Thank you soo much for this detailed video! I now have confidence to give it another go.
Never give up the more you practice the better you will get to it, the trick to getting them soft is to make sure they don’t stay in the pan for too long you only flip twice the second time press down gently and it will start bubbling, you might have a couple small or one large poof Hope this helps ☺️
Thank you, I made this for breakfast today. First time my rotis puffed into balls and were so soft! Ive followed so many recipes but none were quite as detailed as this! The secret, I discovered from your video, is in the kneading! Thank you!
I live in South Africa. I’ve made rotis since the age of 16. I came across your lesson. You’re the most amazing teacher. Outstanding..... you make the task so approachable and interesting.
i have three sons, and I'm definitely going to teach them the ABCs of cooking. Just because they're boys doesn't mean they can't cook! :) thank you so much for this video! I will show this to them!
Anne Lee. I love it!!! I have 2 boys & a girl & I bought each one a serrated plastic chef knife when they were 2. They all helped me chop n prep the food & those are my fondest memories of them. They are older now (12,14 & 16) & can cook simple dishes on their own! I want my boys to be able to feed themselves well in college & after! My husband is a great cook & I so appreciate his momma for taking the time to teach him (all 9 of her kids are awesome cooks!) 🥰
A very good video for beginners. As beginners we sometimes get discouraged if the roti does not puff up. You so rightly addressed those concerns. The explanation provided is crystal clear. Thank you so much.
Dear Raihana, thank you for your amazing recipes you are an expert, I must have tried making chapatti at least 50 times but still don't turn out like yours, however I will keep trying because I love Indian food. Also would like to add I saw your video where you and your husband fed the homeless people, then I read many negative comments, it broke my heart to see these comments, I just want you to know that I respect you and your husband for your kindness to those less fortunate, the world has changed so much, I still cant believe what is going on anymore. thank you for your humanity.
Isabel Mcdonald Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Never give up I guarantee you if you keep on practicing you will achieve a round roti and thanks for your comment on feeding the homeless. People on You Tube can be very mean but then you have people like you that just make your day and make you never give up making videos! Thank you!
Excellent demonstration video --- I am Indian --- And am found of cooking --- My method of making & cooking Chapati (ROTI) is the same as yours. I am 77. An Artist (Graphic Designer) --- Cooking is my passion --- I am always in my kitchen from last 25 years. My family is happy to enjoy the testy dishes that I make.
You are a lovely lady and a great teacher. This is the 1st time someone actually explained the process of rolling the chapati. Thank you for your kindness and patience. Julie
It's 5:21 a.m. and I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for explaining all the details. I admire all moms who willingly touch the hot pans with bare hands to give nice hot rotis to their families.
Back again! The instructions were so very good! Even the rolling, which has been a problem during a handful of failed attempts interspersed over 5 years, went of very well based on your advice! Thank you so very much! It took me 1.5 hours for 6 rotis, but it will all get better with practice. The rotis were excellent! I feel empowered!
Thanks so much for this video. I have suffered from Flat Roti Syndrome for years and after following this tutorial carefully they puff up like a dream. Regards from London.
You really have the heart of a teacher. I loved your multiple explanations and examples. Rolling out the dough so it turns itself blew my mind. Thank you! I can't wait to try this!
Ma’am, my wife and I watched how you made the Roti. You were amazing. My wife is from Bombay and, like you, has been doing rotis for a long time. I do too, but I’m not as good at it. Still, both of us watched your detailed explanation in admiration. We would say things like, “this lady must have been doing it for a long time’ and shortly after that hear you saying, “I’ve been doing this since I was 14”, we say, “definitely she is has learned a lot of tips from experienced mom or grandma” and you’d say about that... Thank you for your top class presentation. We liked it as well as got some useful pointers.
I was married to an Indian woman for many years, she also started roti-making as a child - it is really an art form - a column of 20 or 30 rotis perfect in size and shape; this is the best tutorial on folding and rolling the dough as I ever had - that's the bit that gets the layered flat-bread and air-pockets to rise - it's much harder than it appears and I think the most important part - what a great tutorial...
Thanks mom, I'm back to leave the comment, I just made the chapatti and my husband just like and enjoyed it, thanks so much it was my first time to make chapatti every thing was simple because of you God bless you
i recently began working for an indian lady from mumbai, i have watch her make her rotis, i have learned more from your channel in these few minutes than i have in the the last 3 years thank you !!!!
These days mothers n grandmothers don't have the authority, hold, etc on children. Learning time is painful. This difficult teaching only happen when someone wants to learn or the teaching mothers have a vision n persistence for the children. Now, app, order, n eat for modern times.
i am sooo in love with this video god bless you, im an Indonesia girl and tomorrow i am cooking for mullahs from the middle east, ya not India but im hoping they will appreciate me making curry and this chappati. thank you so much, i feel confident inshaallah
I used to go to my Mexican girlfriend's house after school and her mother would be making tortillas very similarly to this. She'd slather hot butter on them and then offer them to us ... oh heaven
I’ve been making bread since 9 years old but making nan is harder for me. Your teachings has helped me lots. You are a very good teacher. Thank you 🙏❤️
Really great teacher. If you're going to teach someone how to do something this is how you do it. I was really reluctant to spend over 30 mins learning a simple Indian staple but was I in for a surprise. Every minute of the instruction was relevant and delivered with such precision. This has to be the definitive method to the art of doing this. Having seen this once all that would be needed is a few minutes of a refresher if required. Thank you for your precious time spent doing this.
Nice,educative and inspiring .Your commentry is just as crisp and crunchy as I am sure your roties must be. Thank you, madam and God bless you. After all, food knows no religious or national boundries
This is an excellent teaching,ever found.The way she teaches step by step,infact her way of teaching is very keen and I appriciate it from the bottom of the heart. Thx! a lot for this thorough info.
Thank you, you are such a great teacher, so informative and comforting - especially for first timers trying to eat better! Just bought a bag of chapati few days ago and it was really bad......
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for the detailed measurement for making the dough. Thats always been the toughest for me. I cant wait to try this new way!
Raihana..I just want to send out huge, huge thank you to you.. your video on rotis was a lifesaver in this lockdown period ..after cooking for 20 years I finally learnt to make a perfect roti and all thanks to you and your video. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, especially for the times and the details of technique. So many of these things can only be learned standing at the shoulder of someone who knows.
Thank you for sharing this. I learnt to make roti with my first partner - a Gujarati Indian - and developed what I called “chapatti fingers” (the ability to cope with the heat when turning and flipping the rotisserie in the pan) 😊. However, I never could get them very round and they didn’t stay very soft. I’m going to try your techniques. I LOVE roti, chapatti, parattha (sorry for spelling errors). I regularly cook curries for my family and would like to make better Indian flatbreads to serve with them. So, once again, thank you for sharing your skill. It is very much appreciated. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺
I am very much impressed after seeing this video because right now I am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and fed up eating ready khubj and thought to prepare it rotis but my family members and friends here are advising that this is not a easy job and tried before watching this and I was totally frustruated because the wheat I got was brown and I was not able to make correct rough and then the total was not done properly if you can look at it you will laugh but after watching this video I got some how confidence that I can do it. Once I am successful definitely download video of success. Please pray for this. Thx
Thank you so very much for this lesson. I live in Arizona and we do Fry Bread and it is like this and I had no idea how to make it. I love Indian / Pakistani food and being Scottish I love the bread I make Scones the Highland way my Grandmother taught me. Blessings to you' Heather
Heather Flanders Navajo fry bread has baking soda as well and are a bit on the deep fry side. I’d love to see how you make the scones!! Do you have a video about them on your channel???
This is just like being in the kitchen with a good mom. Thank you so much for making this video; I wish there were more like this! Just straightforward, honest, family method. I am going to try this!
this is probably the best tutorial on RUclips sadly I can't get mine to rise I've tried several tutorials but they just end up flat and rubbery. I have found a use for the atta it makes great Irish soda bread so it wasn't a total waste of money and i use the tawa for making naan which I make perfect i think the roti is gonna be resigned to the history books for me ☺
I know it's been a while but try using a bit more water or cooking less time, also roll some out in different thicknesses, I used to roll mine too thin and they dry out sometimes, but if they are too thick they are rubbery.
I started making rotis following some other video and it automatically moved to your channel. Now I ended making 10 plus rotis following your video and every next roti is better than the previous one. Thank a lot for this video. People living away from homes finds this of great help.
This is the best tutorial explaining in detail how to make rotis. It is my dream to be able to make them. Thanks so much for all the tips to succeed. By the way your kitchen is also a dream.
Thank you so much Raihanna, loved your detailed honest sincere unedited video.... unhurried style dotted with little anecdotes from your childhood and family touch about your uncle. I have found the perfect video to send to my dearest younger son Rahul, who is alone in his apartment in Pune....and I'm motivating him to make his own rotis instead of ordering takeaways under lockdown....Thanks a million 🍁🍁
Love roti but can make it I making it my flour were soft but any time put on the stove it ,do not come out right I have a friend tell me how to do it jut don't out thank for the video.
I taught 6th Form College for over 20 years. It is my experience that most do a good job, some a very good job however, few, like you were gifted. Thank you.
@@Omega1st what does that even mean. you're using biological terms to describe bread? tortillas were made through natural selection, roti is its ancestor? no. roti and tortilla are two similar flatbreads made by different cultures, there is no descension
@@Omega1st there is no natural selection, i was making a joke about how you talk about tortillas being descended from other breads as if it's an animal going through evolution
@@forevers1238 Everything has an origin. Barley, Millit, Weath, Corn, Yucca. It is a waste of time to engage in an argument without knowledge of what you are arguing about. You don't even know what "Tortilla" means.
Wonderful tutorial Raihana, I'm really impressed. My mother taught me everything but forgot to teach me cooking roti.... I think all mothers should teach their daughters the skills they know. For us Indians, roti is must. I will definitely teach my daughter cooking. By the way really like your kitchen :)

Very good
i have three sons, and I'm definitely going to teach them the ABCs of cooking. Just because they're boys doesn't mean they can't cook! :) thank you so much for this video! I will show this to them!
The good thing about flatbread too is that it's a great source of carbs without all the unhealthy stuff that it normally comes with.
Thanks I love it and it's looks so easy to make it

I am very much impressed after seeing this video because right now I am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and fed up eating ready khubj and thought to prepare it rotis but my family members and friends here are advising that this is not a easy job and tried before watching this and I was totally frustruated because the wheat I got was brown and I was not able to make correct rough and then the total was not done properly if you can look at it you will laugh but after watching this video I got some how confidence that I can do it. Once I am successful definitely download video of success. Please pray for this. Thx
Awesome instructions! I wish my mom would have given me these detailed instructions... I will def try your method - thank you!
Thanks so much please do let me know how it comes out for you!
We all hate your mom
Thank you so very much for this lesson. I live in Arizona and we do Fry Bread and it is like this and I had no idea how to make it. I love Indian / Pakistani food and being Scottish I love the bread I make Scones the Highland way my Grandmother taught me.
Blessings to you'

Heather Flanders Navajo fry bread has baking soda as well and are a bit on the deep fry side. I’d love to see how you make the scones!! Do you have a video about them on your channel???
Maybe you should also consider posting a video about making Scottish bread. Thanks
This is just like being in the kitchen with a good mom. Thank you so much for making this video; I wish there were more like this! Just straightforward, honest, family method. I am going to try this!
You are a *fabulous* teacher!
Thank you for sharing your recipe, and making / uploading this video 😊
Thank you so much for this video, so well explained and technic of doing the roti, hope I am able to do the roti just like you one day. ❤️
I had no idea that there was so much to know about making flat bread. Such an insight into skills learned. Thanks.
this is probably the best tutorial on RUclips sadly I can't get mine to rise I've tried several tutorials but they just end up flat and rubbery. I have found a use for the atta it makes great Irish soda bread so it wasn't a total waste of money and i use the tawa for making naan which I make perfect i think the roti is gonna be resigned to the history books for me ☺

I know it's been a while but try using a bit more water or cooking less time, also roll some out in different thicknesses, I used to roll mine too thin and they dry out sometimes, but if they are too thick they are rubbery.
Never give it’s all about practice, in sure if I can do it anyone can!
I made flour tortillas I am Latino but I really would like to try it the way of the Indian way it looks very delicious

Pls do and come back and let us know how it worked for you!
Very boring may be one hour the way you showing. It's very easy than to make than you.
I started making rotis following some other video and it automatically moved to your channel. Now I ended making 10 plus rotis following your video and every next roti is better than the previous one. Thank a lot for this video. People living away from homes finds this of great help.
Thank you so very much! Appreciate the feedback and am beyond happy that you had success with making them!
Happy cooking 🤗
Thank you very much I enjoy watching

Recipe is very straightforward, thank you for that. In your experience, what is the best way to warm them up when they're frozen?
When they are warm i put them in freezer... When i want to eat them put them in microwave one by one and micro it for 30 secs.

Thank you so much Raihanna, loved your detailed honest sincere unedited video.... unhurried style dotted with little anecdotes from your childhood and family touch about your uncle. I have found the perfect video to send to my dearest younger son Rahul, who is alone in his apartment in Pune....and I'm motivating him to make his own rotis instead of ordering takeaways under lockdown....Thanks a million 🍁🍁
Love roti but can make it I making it my flour were soft but any time put on the stove it ,do not come out right I have a friend tell me how to do it jut don't out thank for the video.
I taught 6th Form College for over 20 years. It is my experience that most do a good job, some a very good job however, few, like you were gifted. Thank you.
Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment! 🤗
Best roti video I’ve come across so far ❤️

This is like making homemade tortillas! Yum! Thank you so much for the perfect tutorial!

Tortillas is descended Pita bread which is from the same family as this flat bread called Roti.
@@Omega1st what does that even mean. you're using biological terms to describe bread? tortillas were made through natural selection, roti is its ancestor? no. roti and tortilla are two similar flatbreads made by different cultures, there is no descension
@@forevers1238 name the natural selection
@@Omega1st there is no natural selection, i was making a joke about how you talk about tortillas being descended from other breads as if it's an animal going through evolution
@@forevers1238 Everything has an origin.
Barley, Millit, Weath, Corn, Yucca.
It is a waste of time to engage in an argument without knowledge of what you are arguing about.
You don't even know what "Tortilla" means.
Wonderful tutorial Raihana, I'm really impressed. My mother taught me everything but forgot to teach me cooking roti.... I think all mothers should teach their daughters the skills they know. For us Indians, roti is must. I will definitely teach my daughter cooking.
By the way really like your kitchen :)
