One of the most
common problems that most beginners in cooking face is “making round rotis”. Whatever
we eat goes directly into the stomach, no matter whether it is round, square or
shapeless. Then why is it that we give so much importance to make perfect round
rotis?
I guess, the main reason why we have this perception is that
we always wish everything around us to be perfect. The dining table looks more appealing
when plates, bowls and cutlery are neatly and properly arranged. Same goes with
the food - a delicious looking dish makes us feel more eager to eat than a
plain looking dish.
Hence the same way, importance is given to making round
rotis. Further Perfect round rotis implies certain things
- That you are an expert in making rotis
- You like perfection
- Moreover your plate looks nice and appealing
The easiest way to making a roti round is to use a lid and
press on your shapeless roti. You will get round rotis in seconds. Another hard
but useful way is Practice! Practice! And Practice! You will surely get a round
roti someday.


For all those who could not make a round roti, please don’t worry. Just keep making rotis as you always do. Your family too will not
mind as they will be happy for all the love and effort you put in. With time, you will
make a perfect one soon. Your non
round rotis will taste as good as the perfect round ones!
Great article :) by the way I have used a plate for this purpose once! haha
