    Roti pratas as they call it in Singapore. My son loves it. here, in Auckland, we have a little India, but rotis cost twice as in Sinagpore.

    Many roti canai & peratha makers in Malaysia is from India.
    I just love its if take with curry gravy & special tea or teh tarik in Malaysia.

    Looks wonderful - I've watched tortillas made around Mexico's shops but know nothing of rotis. Thank you for the information!

    Watching someone who's really good at stuff like this is always amazing to me. I suppose when you make several hundred rotis a day every day, you do it from muscle memory. Cool stuff!

    And yeah, now I'm hungry too!

    Kneading....thoughtful K word. Each nook and corner here has one parota master....their skill very enviable.

    I think one can almost achieve a Zen-like state kneading.

    I agree with Hildred--kneading is the best part of making bread. A great way to get rid of frustrations! But I would think this vendor would have very sore hands by the end of the day:)
