Dear friends hope all of you enjoyed the new year! We had a wonderful vacation with a mixture of climatic changes, it was total relaxing yet full of fun filled time . We are still at the verge of getting adjusted to the normal routine. .. as school started
Coming to blogging and my kitchen galore what i bought ? The few that were in my mind a couple of cook books and eyed on a new kitchen supplement Roti Maker.
It was just the day before we started from Bangalore I bought the Roti maker. With all the enthusiastic mind the very evening I wanted to try making Rotis, as I already had left over dough from the morning Chapatis. So thought of giving a try. To my very disappointment it turned out just like hard jowar bakaris :0. O lol I thought this is not what I want I was totally upset, but the next morning again never to let it go tried another hand trying to figure out what’s wrong to my horror it never tuned out as I imagined it thick small and hard. Without a second mind we called up Jaipan and requested for immediate demo as I was at the verge why the hell i need to take it if it does not work well. After call over call at last they agreed to send someone by evening.It was evening and my wait continued as we packed to leave for the night flight. A middle aged man arrived saying he has been having experience in the last 10 yrs. I had never prepared the dough but wanted to see from the scratch. So there goes he prepared the dough like the lost experience way. The dough was soft and sticky. Placed the ball of dough and i see the ‘Phulkas’ blow up wow i thought so big and so good
. At last I was satisfied felt its after all i did not made a bad choice. I realised the dough should be very smooth and we should be fast enough to press the dough to get satisfied result.
Coming to food blogging I will try to be back soon with interesting food world once I get hold of it. Sunday we had a simple lunch with kids favourite tomato rice have a look at it

Hi,
welcome back to blogging world. Hope to see more of new fresh bangalore dishes in your website.
My problem is also same with yours, i too have Jaipan roti maker bought from bangalore a year back, i am trying since then to get roti as shown in photo but never got it. AS u said it is hard, rough like throwing disc, i am very upset and it is still in cupboard.
If you have learned to make roti from roti maker please also give photo demo to teach us, i will be very very happy to see and learn

Welcome back Roopa. wow!! that thali looks gr8. You managed to take a pic despite your tight unpacking and settling down schedule. Wonderful you are!
I have heard of roti makers but prefer making it the usual way. It takes some time for you to get adjusted to the new machine. So good luck to you!

Hi Roopa,
I am trying to use the roti maker here in California and cant seem to get rotis large enough or even close to the phoolka pictured. It would be highly appreciated if you could provide me with the recipe for rotis that works for you along with the measurement of ingredients as I think I need to adjust the consistency of the atta. I tried to make a few different adjustments myself but landed being more frustrated. Please help.
Thank you.
