    Seriously, they've gone overboard with the plastic in this roti pack. Every single one is in its own plastic sleeve, so that's two pieces of plastic per roti! I could almost forgive it if it was from Singapore, but 'Proudly Australian owned'? Come on, they can do way better than that.

      Imagine trying to cook just one if there are no separators… The uncooked dough sticks together in a block, requiring rest to be unfrozen. Very messy & likely wasteful.

      But agree… Grease-proof paper might be an alternative.

      Been buying these for years.
      I use the separators to freeze others foods separately into single serve portions. Did that today. None are ever wasted.

    • KSMLJ on 13/03/2025 - 10:51

      It's the same when you buy puff pastry or short pastry packs, it's to prevent sticking and lumping.

  • Pete Gabitas on 12/03/2025 - 14:28

    This is Roti Canai, why is this called Roti bread?
    and its super unhealthy. Avoid it, unless you want your cholesterol to shoot up.

  • showMe Money on 12/03/2025 - 15:06

    wow, my previous health related comment has been hidden.
    Ozbargain need to check is people are doing it on purpose or maybe bots operation on this portal to flesh out negative votes.

      Was it something like this ?

  • ScribbleSass on 12/03/2025 - 16:00

    This is not how standard roti looks. It shouldn't be fluffy and shouldn't have layers. It shouldn't be made of super-refined fine flour. It should be made of ground whole wheat flour.

    That aside, what's expiry like?

    • INFIDEL on 12/03/2025 - 16:48

      It's a joy to see Roti being made in front of us…

      Every Roti I've eaten overseas, was folded, producing layers. Different regions / countries will have different preparation.
      So not sure what your "standard roti" is like.

      These are also sold as a Whole Wheat version - usually not reduced. Seen in Woolies.

      • ScribbleSass on 12/03/2025 - 16:54

        This is a random one of thousands of recipes you would find for making a roti. This is what people refer to when they say 'roti'.

        • INFIDEL on 12/03/2025 - 16:58

          There are so many versions!
          Have cooked them for a large group of Indians.

          Even WOOLIES has a recipe for Spicy Indian Roti

          • ScribbleSass on 12/03/2025 - 16:58

            @INFIDEL: The roti listed here is more of roti canai which is a far less common version, more popular in Malaysia/Singapore. Some comment above already suggested it.

            I am not debating the fact that roti can have tens of versions depending on what you put in and how you cook.. all I am suggesting is that 'roti' means one particular version, when a majority of a billion people in a country refer to that word.

            • INFIDEL on 12/03/2025 - 17:01

              @ScribbleSass: Yes, different in different countries.
              Some styles of Roti are more the Chipatti i used to prepare..

              • ScribbleSass on 12/03/2025 - 17:02

                @INFIDEL: …. and then there's 'Tandoori Roti' which you find in every single Indian restaurant. It's made in a tandoor (clay oven) and not on tawa/pan that a regular roti is made on.

                • INFIDEL on 12/03/2025 - 17:04

                  @ScribbleSass: But this is a Roti (Canal) from Singapore! Where this style is popular - as you pointed out. Not from India!!

                  Where it is stretched, slapped on the hotplate, and then folded to produce layers.

                  • ScribbleSass on 12/03/2025 - 17:07

                    @INFIDEL: True. It is from Singapore (common in Malaysia and some other Asian countries too). Indian brands also sell it - you will find them in Indian stores.

                    Btw,
                    Indians in Singapore = 600,000
                    Indians in India = 1.4 billion

                      @ScribbleSass: My first "Roti" was in Malaysia. So that's what I think.of as a Roti.
                      Same with your Indian version.
                      It's very usual with food, especially when prepared by your mother or other family member - to hold that as the only version.

                      Prepared hand ground whole wheat "Chapati" long before I knew the term Roti. Taught by Indians. Simple to make, filling, more nutritious than these. And also referred to as Roti.

                      Even in India - there are different foods in different areas.

                      And different styles of Roti, that were taken to other countries. Adapted there to local tastes.
                      Just sold under the common name Roti.

                      Indians in India = 1.4 billion

                      Just because a food is eaten by many millions, doesn't make it the "standard" version. And may not have originated there!

                      Just because McDonald's sell millions of "Hamburgers" - that isn't a standard hamburger imho. Certainly not like I grew up with (a vegetarian burger😉).

                      My Iranian friend likes to point out Biryani originated in Persia, introduced by Arab traders, & developed further in India. But is quite different to the Persian original.

                      And Roti may have originally come from the same area. It's a simple unleavened flat bread common there for over 5000 years. Where wheat was first cultivated.

                      Food origins are interesting, but create a heated debate😉 I like learning about them on my overseas travels.

                      I like any "Roti". But these are quick & easy to prepare, when you just want 1 or 2.

                      @ScribbleSass: Woolies sell a 30 pack of Pillsbury Tawa Chapati 900g for $5.

    do you guys just eat this like that or put something in it and eat it?

      I've only ever had roti as a side to a curry, dip it in the sauce same as you would with naan.

    • DarwinBoy on 12/03/2025 - 17:54

      get some curry, say rogan josh. slice some tomatoes up. chuck some of the kewpie mayo on as well and wrap it like a kebab. tastes good.

    • INFIDEL on 12/03/2025 - 18:11

      Woolies list it as a bread. So do what you like. Just cook it first!
      Often accompanies Indian food like curry, but I've eaten it like bread topped with cream cheese, or even honey. While soft, make it into a wrap. Use your imagination.

    • Username Taken on 12/03/2025 - 18:57

      Other than with curries, we eat it as soft taco wrap. Bake it both side, put some lettuce, tomato, sauce of your choice, ketchup, grilled chicken/paneer/Scrambled egg and there you have it 😋

    • kaleidoscope on 12/03/2025 - 20:13

      Goes well with some thick curries, or you can even eat it as is with some butter. I pan cook these, fry a beaten egg, put it inside the roti, fold with some cheese while hot and wait for the cheese to melt with residual heat and have at it. Kids love it.

      recommended serving size however is 1 piece (just fyi)

  • kaleidoscope on 12/03/2025 - 20:07

    $2.25 for 6 pack (0.57 per 100g), it's cheaper than the bulk pack at Costco 30 pack $12.99 ($0.67 per 100g)

    Please don’t bulk buy the 6 packs to save few cents over the already affordable 30 pack 🤷‍♂️.

    I find that all Katoomba products use Palm oil. Not healthy for us and not healthy for the planet. Hard pass for me

      Thats like saying instead of pasta, use noodles.

      Its embarrassing that you even suggested that, you need to get out of the house and learn your types of food.

        • samfisher5986 on 13/03/2025 - 10:01

          Healthier options implies its a similar product.

          Your logic is swapping pasta for banana.

            • samfisher5986 on 13/03/2025 - 10:14

              @G-rig: Right, so pastry, bread, crackers, pizza bases and pasta can all be used interchangeably….

              • G-rig on 13/03/2025 - 10:16

                @samfisher5986: Sure. Healthier = less processed (see above for why they are bad).

                I like getting banana roti in Thailand. Also very well the easy to make if you have even half a brain.

  • lonewolf on 18/03/2025 - 15:46

    Strange, i tried stores near my work and my home and both didnt have it. I was able to purchase this before.

    • hamza23 on 18/03/2025 - 16:32

      Yeah my local stopped stocking them as well, on the website and the app you can also check. On the website only 2 stores appear when I put my postcode in.
