Aunty Manula, this looks delicious! I tried making this, and sadly, as it was my first attempt at making roti, it was not very good (due to my lack of skill). My rotis were kind of dry and fell apart while cooking them! They were hard after cooking, too. I think I messed up the dough. Do you think my dough was too dry? I also used soy yogurt. I would love to try again! Thanks, Aunty Manjula. :) You are the best!

yes do was too dry.

Fantastic! My son is on gluten free, he'd love this. I would use it as a wrap or like a soft tortilla.

[Manjulaskitchen]

These roties are not soft, they are little dry side.

This recipe I wanted to do gluten free, otherwise you can use wheat flour

[Emily Reggy]

Manjula - The brand of asafoetida (hing) that is gluten free is Frontier Natural. durgathakar's post is correct, only if the manufacturer used wheat flour as opposed to rice flour. However, Frontier Natural's hing is gluten free.

[durgathakar]

Hing you buy in Indian stores is NOT gluten-free. It has wheat flour in it.

tahnk u dera Manjula for this recipe. Is it possible to make this roti without dairy products?

Wonderful recipe. I cannot wait to try it out. I just found out the other day that I sadly have to eat a gluten free diet and Indian food has TONS of options. I also added you on Twitter and Facebook. Namasté.

My family has been doing wheat-free for new year, i just knew that wheat free roti would be a great 'bread' option!

Hi, I am visiting this channel again. I am learning "Indian" cuisine & am visiting many channels. The ingredients & methods are new to me. A lot of this cuisine is very frugal & vegetarian dishes never seem boring these ways! (We eat meat but have many meatless days.) I am learning more about the spice mace. My best regards from France via the USA!
