From Geography to Geometry-Rolling Rotis takes it all.

I realized I did not blog about food at all…(probably I was busy eating )

The other day I tried my hand in making rotis. Well, don’t you laugh…the first attempt of any individual at Rotis is very tiring and frustrating..I am sure of that!!!

Anyway, my mom was here visiting me for two weeks and I thought I should learn how to make Rotis…(the best known ‘Fat-Free,’ less carb staple food for Indians) So, she kneaded the dough the first day and even rolled the Rotis…I just watched her, while she explained me her techniques to make soft fluffy Rotis. The next day we tried Rotis again for dinner, and this time I took the initiative of doing everything-from kneading to rolling out the Rotis, to even roasting them J

Kneading was easy (good for the loose flesh on my upper arms, got stronger)..the rolling out of Rotis to perfect circles was not easy at all…I still don’t know how all mom’s make a perfect circular Roti..Anyway, after every time I rolled the Roti, my mom came and touched up the finishing bit to make a near about circle of the amoebic Roti. But, mind you, on roasting it, it fluffed and I was so happy…

Since then I have been struggling to make my Rotis somewhat round if not perfect round but haven’t succeeded yet on that feat L But they at least taste like proper Rotis…so am happy for that. The Roti lesson after all did not go to waste J
