The Little Roti celebrates old fashioned food techniques and great flavour combinations. My breads and cakes have a rustic beauty and no artificial flavours, additives, preservatives or colourings. Basically, earnest, honest, great tasting food, made with love and considerable labour. Roti began as a food blog where I shared experiences and is now also a home bakery from where I make and sell fresh, sweet smelling loaves, rustic boules, naturally leavened focaccia, teacakes, madeleines and celebratory cakes! There is so much flavour in a loaf of bread made from wild yeast or a cake with fresh flavours, that you'll want to just eat it right away. The Story of The Little Roti: When I was a toddler, I used to follow Dida (my grandmother) around the house most of the day. A bulk of her day was spent cooking fresh food, gardening, cleaning the home etc. I remember, she'd be making Rotis on the Tava (gridle), and she'd give me a tiny little ball of dough to roll out with my toy belan and chakli and roast along with the last roti she'd make. I would watch in utter wonderment at how a little piece of sticky beige dough could turn into a crisp, soft, puffy, white and sweet tasting bread. I didn't know then, but I was hooked by the beauty of making food. The Little Roti is an expression of that love for food.
