Steamed Roti Roll Wadi

The first time I knead the dough for making Fulkas / Chapati was when I was studying in school.  Right from the time I was a kid, I loved to work in the kitchen and try to experiment with food :).  Rolling the chapati into a round and even shape came naturally to me...I have heard many people say, it is so tough to get that round shape of the Chapati / Roti /Fulka.

My family prefers to have Fulka for lunch / dinner. It is soft and when consumed hot, one does not realize how many Fulka's one has consumed. :).  There were days, when I used to come back home after work and cook food... but now with kids / studies and different projects to complete in school.. the option was to hire a maid to making the evening dinner.

I remember once having made Egg Kurma for lunch...  You can check my blog for this recipe.  It was very yummy...  I decided to make the Fulkas and serve it hot to family members.  These are best when freshly made, direct on the plate from the stove. You bet, it is so difficult to control the urge to eat more than the daily quota of rotis when they are served hot. If a favorite curry is made than one could end up eating unlimited number of fulkas.

By the time they all had lunch, I did not have energy to even think of having my lunch.  My husband  observed this and said,next time, you prepare the Fulaks prior to having dinner rather than serving it right on the plate... I still make the Fulkas once in a while and serve it direct on the plate from the stove... but now my hubby dear ensures that he feeds me from his plate while I cook... so there is some energy left by the time I finish making the food :).  

There are several occasions, when Fulkas are not consumed.... You also need not worry anymore if you have some leftover Roti's / Fulkas

.  I make Steam Roti Roll Wadi's out of the left over Roti's the next day and everyone loves this dish at home!

I recently made Fulkas in the afternoon and some were left over.  The same evening, I made these Roti roll wadi and my inlaws had come over and my Mom in law praised me and said "this dish is very tasty".
