I’ve made this recipe 3 times to eat with curry. The first time I made it, the rotis came out a bit too thin for my taste. Subsequently, I doubled the recipe and made the rotis a little thicker. I find this recipe works very well; the rotis come out soft and tasty. My family loves it.

This is not bad, but I think I am going to put Ghee in the dough next time to give it a more elasticity that I like.

Good accompaniment for curry. I’ve made this several times and prefer using mostly whole wheat flour and, like the previous reviewer, extra virgin olive oil. The changes give it a better flavor that works well with India dishes.

I made this bread to go with an Indian curry. It was fantastic. I used extra virgin olive oil, as the final flavour of the bread is affected by the oil you use. If you’ve ever made tortillas it’s similar to that but thicker.
