    Thats definitely giving roti vibes.how big is the bowl of curry id like to know

  3. basher2213

    In India they are called Rumali Roti. Never seen one this big though. 

  4. ShockedChicken

    Looks like rumaali roti, made similar to chapaati but thinner and larger.  2 meters seems a bit extra

    How could it not be bread? Flour plus water plus heat equals bread in my mind. There’s chemically leavened breads, an endless variety of yeast breads and unleavened breads. I’m in awe at the skill demonstrated.

    Looks like it would be nice to lie under on a cold night

    Never complaining about my stretching and folding again

    Is it really bread? No, it’s a hamster /s

    It’s the type of bread that, when you eat a little piece, gives you diharreah for the next 3 weeks.

  12. Real-Swing8553

    That’s some insane stretching skill

    There was an international food store where I used to live that sold fresh giant flatbread about that size, but rectangle and not round. I think it was called lavash? You could watch them make it in store it was so cool and I always got some

  16. Senior_Octopus

    Armenian lavash! Even made commericially, they are *massive*

  20. Nonameswhere

    I wonder what they eat it with? What food/dish/ curry necessitates such a huge bread.

  21. Josh_it_to_me

    My friend from Armenia brings this kind of thing from LA when he visits. I believe from a Georgian bakery.

  22. HeinousEncephalon

    Even if the pipe he is cooking on is lead, I’m buying and eating that whole stack

    So that’s how they made my daughters tortilla blanket. Learn something new everyday.

    You have not known comfort till you have slept on a Naan Bed

  26. Aggravating-Yam4571

    this is called rumali roti, it’s definitely my favorite – so light and airy while also being satisfyingly chewy

  29. boringxadult

    I just want to know what makes you think it isn’t bread?

  32. Kachoww23

    This is them making those tortilla blankets I’ve seen on Amazon huh

  34. smokeyblackcook

    Baker: let’s put the roti over on that rug outside.

    Other baker: shouldn’t we put them on a table or something?

    Baker: we can’t afford one so just carpet for now

  36. Boring_Internet_968

    So that’s how they make the tortilla blankets!!!!

  38. theliterarystitcher

    We have something similar sold in Middle Eastern grocery stores, called markouk. Just a giant, super thin wrap situation, it’s great with stews and soups!

  39. Sweet-N-Tasty

    Is this how tortilla blankets are made?

  42. TheLastSuppit

    I, too, like to wrap my roti dough around my head while stretching it out before baking

  43. AlarmingSorbet

    It’s just a giant roti, more than likely for a community/event meal. My grandmother would make a couple diff curries, rice, and a some giant rotis (not THIS big) for family meals. Just rip a piece off and use it to pick up your curry of choice.

    This reminds me of roomali roti. Roomal means handkerchief which is where the roti derives its name from.

  47. nos4atugoddess

    I want to wrap myself up in this and eat my way out
