I grew up eating roti at my best friends house and loved watching his mom make it. There were zero Indian restaurants in our town so I never had naan or knew what it was until years later when I moved. I’m always excited when I find a restaurant with great roti.
I love this and I can't wait to try your recipe. Also thank you for giving me permission to give up. I love cooking Indian food at home - both recipes I hope to be as authentic as possible with the ingredients available to me from good sources, and British Indian food, homemade versions of what we eat out here which have become their own cuisine. I've had so many successes, but naan is something I can never master and I'm fed up of trying. The naan in the styled shots of dal in my last cookbook? An assistant went and got them from a restaurant!
Thank you for this! I love roti. My mom is best friends with a woman from Fiji who learned to cook Indian food for her family. When I would come over as a child to play with her daughters while she and my mom would laugh and chat over coffee, I would sneak into the kitchen and ask her to make a batch. She would mix and roll it out quickly. And so thin! She'd then take it off the pan, smother it with butter and I was eat it rolled as the butter dripped out the end. One of my favourite memories at her house.
