dear Manju, I do my rothi again and again (I use atta from local indian store) but they come out crispy which I don't like! What is the secret? Thanks!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Liduniya Knead the dough well until it is soft and smooth, it makes it easier adding halk a spoon of oil in the dough. If skillet is not hot enough roti will be crisp.

Is yeast used in Indian breads? In any Indian cooking?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@DigitalPraise7 Yeast is used for making Naan.

Thank you Manjula. Your tutorials are excellent! I have been pretty poor lately; this and the paneer videos help a lot!

I forgot to buy bread yesterday. In Croatia it is non-working day today, so I looked for quick roti recipe. Thank you! This is great! Don't think I will buy bread anymore as now I know how to make Indian breads from your videos. I miss Indian cuisine and people very much. You are the best :))))
