prettyinpa - I LOVE Rotis! I've made naan before, too. I typically default to King Arthur Flour but I'll check out an Indian grocer for some Aata Flour. That sounds delicious. Thanks!

It always makes me feel better to hear others say they don't like to run. I want to like running, but I fight myself every step of the way, I finally realized that didn't make sense - better off doing cardio I love instead of trying to become a runner for the sake of becoming a runner.
I'm impressed with all of you here. I'm not currently on a weight loss journey (being 21 weeks pregnant puts that on hold) but I've been on several with a mixed range of success. I've been slowly embracing the Health at Every Size movement and the idea that it's more important my body can do what I want it to do than being a certain size. It can't yet, and sometimes it's easier said than done to remember that goal! I've been working mostly on eating healthier recently and learning to listen to my body about food instead of my emotions. My biggest personal challenge right now: learning to cook vegetables I don't like so that I'll eat them!

I need your exercise ethic! I admire how much you seem to have fallen in love with gym time. Teach me your ways

Here's Hubby's "recipe"- He doesn't cook with a recipe much, so amounts vary depending on how hungry we are!
Use high quality aata flour, the cheaper one gives cardboardy tasting rotis. 2 parts aata flour to 1 part water. You want the dough to be very soft, about as soft as can be rolled. Divide the dough into fist sized balls and roll out. Preheat your oven to 450-500 degrees and put the iron or aluminum griddle in to heat up. If you start with a heated griddle, the rotis cook faster and give a better texture. We've cooked rotis at temperatures up to 600 degrees in our woodstove and they were awesome, slight woodsy flavor and those little spots that you only get with a tandoori! Flop the rotis on the griddle and cook, they will puff up and get huge. Cook until they are lightly browned, to taste. It's normal for them to deflate when they come out of the oven. Cooking time depends on how hot your oven is. You can also cook them on the stovetop on a preheated griddle, though we prefer the kind baked in the oven.
