Earlier, we pitted chaawal against roti and boy oh boy did everybody get excited. And a little…mean. As a foodie, you are perpetually thrilled by all the food that is yet to be had. And truth be told, roti has a very special place in every Pakistani’s heart.
And since we’re living in a relatively free country, let’s also give the roti lovers a voice. This one’s for YOU:
Chahay jo bhi hojaaye, roti and especially garam chapati will always be your bae.
Granted, there’s some struggle involved.
And things can get a little…tricky.
But hey, good things come to those who persevere, right?
Make sure you roll that pin right.
And if that’s not part of your life plan, here’s one invention every desi household needs.
When you get home and smell the home-cooked saalan with that muffled sounds of some roti flippin’.
And your stomach goes in knots.
You wish your khaansama would hurry it up already.
You really appreciate people who have mad skills, y’know?
And roti can really be your favorite play-thing sometimes.
Look at these crazy cool rotiwalas.
That feel-good moment when you spread some butter as it drizzles all over.
And whisper, “you’ll always be my first”
All your worries slowly seem to fade into nothingness as you look at that plate full of mutton karahi with yours truly.
And guess what goes best with chicken ka saalan?
You know what.
HAAAAAAAAAAVE you tried mixed sabzi with piping hot chapatis?
Or bhindi masala? If not, YOU’RE MISSING OUT.
Bet the daal would be very happy to have some roti accompanying it right now

Which makes you wish you had a bigger supply:

And not to forget, the signals ‘breaking bread’ sends to your crush.
Because it takes a whole lot of serious relationshipy stuff to be able to start messy eating on a date.
I don’t know about you but I’m definitely getting some of this RN.
Allah ka karam hay, chapati garama garam hay.
