Yes, I Cook.
Yesterday I was lamenting the lack of any decent gluten free roti (Indian flat bread). I know there is a good range of gluten free products available these days, but if anyone knows where to get wraps that are free from gluten, dairy, eggs, yeast, and added sugar, which neither fall apart nor resemble card board in any way, well, I'd really like to hear from you.
Anyway back on track. So hear I was, wishing I had decent wraps to eat my aloo saag with, when I decided I would try to make some, so with no recipe and nothing in mind other then the notion that there couldn't be much to it, after all the base for roti is just flour and water right? So out came the gluten free plain flour, the sifter, and the mixing bowls. I started by combining flour and water until I had something the consistency of a good pancake mix (which turned out to be roughly half and half), then I added a bit of oil and salt and beat it all into submission, before cooking it like a pancake. The end result wasn't too bad, a little bland, but no more so then any of the options commercially available to me. The main thing was it held together well and was suitably pliable for the purpose of picking up curry.
Today I decided to give it another go, this time I replaced the oil with melted [dairy free] margarine, and I threw a handful of cumin seeds in the pan while it was heating up. Once they started popping I added them to the mix and started cooking. This time the end result was a bit thicker and stickier, but better tasting and still well suited to its intended purpose.
I intend to experiment further with this, I'd like to try it with different flours (chickpea for example), and also I'm going to try it with rice milk.
Whether or not I make this when I am also cooking the main meal (which I do from scratch) rather then just having leftovers will probably hinge on whether I have time to do it in advance, since [a] the stove can't accommodate that many pots and pans and [b] most Indian recipes require very close attention in the initial stages or the spices will burn.

you didn't mention any of this yesterday - impressive btw - and thanks for minding Dave for me.
My mother-in-law is Indian and she makes roti out of chickpea flour or soy flour or buckwheat flour for me (depending on her mood). She uses a little clarified butter on it after it's cooked - all that's in the dough is flour and water. Also look up recipes for socca (chickpea flour "fritters" from Nice, France). Good luck!
Very good information. Lucky me I discovered your site by accident (stumbleupon).

It constantly annoys me in comic discussions when some folks try to assert
that the source material for Superman is inherently boring.
You don't turn out to be a pop icon for 75 many years by getting boring. Is he overpowered? Sometimes possibly, but it really is nevertheless feasible to script exciting story lines around him, as Paul Dini and Dwayne McDuffie demonstrated in DCAU (animated works).

Some keyloggers do not
announce their presence by posing as someone else with the intention of luring younger children out of dangerous situations.
But using keylogging hardware or software program is going to be very
hard to get rid of. Black Hathackers are using such techniquesto spy on Facebook accounts.
There should never be any telltale signs of such a software.
Never again will people be able to detect a keylogger.
Your kids' safety may be hanging in the balance so a free trial right now!

An exciting tidbit I learned a lot of years in the past is that the discomfort of the burn up may be eliminated rapidly by utilizing a mix of flour
and drinking water. Once more, it really is almost certainly the starch that does it.
