My mother gifted me a masala dab a when I got married 44 years ago. I still use it. It has travelled the world with me.

The guys acting like they're watching a football game when watching the Roti maker was the best!

12:26 Indian aunties would acknowledge the grinding skills there, totally Bahu worthy.

I loved that you showed Sil Batta. It's one of the oldest Indian cooking gadgets, if we could call that, it's generally passed down through generations, we have one which belonged to my paternal grandmother and we still use it, it's almost 60years old. It doesn't carve with use, there is a carved version of this available as well.
Cooking with pastes made in Sil Batta makes food tastier and its not just emotion, also it's great form of exercise. Amazing representation of Indian cooking gadgets ❤

As an Indian living in the U.S., I know quite a few including myself that own a rotimatic. It is definitely not meant for the Indian market but for Indian who live abroad, especially households where both parents are working. I love my rotimatic and use it on a daily basis

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don''t recall any previous kitchen gadget review episodes where every device was complicit in the making of a complete dish. Regardless, this significantly enhances the entertainment value of this format and I would love to see that continue in future kitchen gadget reviews. Thanks for a fantastic video!

The Mexican version of the Sil Batta is called a metate and it's made from the same kind of volcanic stone a traditional molcajete is made from. It's traditionally used to grind corn, spices, and seeds.

Little info, before using the sill Bata ( the chatni maker ) we used to wash it before bringing into action … it shouldn’t be dry before use . Little wet so that friction should be right .

[keltait]

the sheer childlike excitement about the roti robot made my morning ❤

[BeardedDanishViking]

I love the transition from 3 to 4. From two pieces of rock to a fully automated roti maker. xD

The host is soo knowledgeable and good with history and culture around the world! Applause for him! Give him a raise guys!

The Tandoori oven costs about 4000Rs in India(abour 40 pounds)

The Masala Dabba(அஞ்சரை பெட்டி[Anjarai Petti] Which means 5 or more similar spaced room inside a box in Tamil) costs 500Rs(about 5 pounds)

The Ammi kal one is a crude copy of the proper ammi kal we Tamils use, In the ones we use they have larger base with ornamental designs and the pestle is cylindrical but sometimes with the center diameter bit larger than the 2 ends so that you dont have to lift the whole pestle to crush spices you just have to press one side while slightly lifting the other side to crush it and then roll the pestle to mush the spices. They cost around 3000-5000rs for good stone with good ornamental designs(300-500 pounds)

Ok, I need to address this. Whomever edited this video and put a picture of the singer Seal, when Jamie said "Good Seal" had me laughing for about 1 minute straight. Looked like the old Mortal Kombat meme "Toasty" guy. 10/10!

Amazing how quickly Ben and Jamie turned into 12 year old's when the Rotimatic came out. It started immediately when Ben started it by accident. From that point on it was as if Santa was in the living room that night and left absolute proof of his presence.

[MusingsFromTheDen]

The childlike amusement Jamie got from the Roti Robot was so pure! 😂

And now I'm hungry... 🤣

[TheFlowerGirl]

I absolutely loved this video! Then again, I also love Indian cuisine from all regions! This was good fun! I’m happy everyone had a fun time shooting it and eating their creations as well!😊

[DRKWingsS]

You guys should consider reviewing how hard is it to clean those gadgets too, most of them are designed to save time, and cleaning is part of the time you will have to spend on the gadget too.

[TheUglyCook]

Bloody hell. Never expected a bunch of Londoners using Sil Batta. It’s a quintessential tool in an old school Indian household, and it’s freaking awesome. I am very proud of y’all. Just a quick unsolicited tip, when y’all are making piccalilli during Christmas, toast some mustard seeds and coarse grind it on the sil batta, the entire flavour and texture will be better. But probably use half of whole mustard. Once again, bloody hell it is !

[anujchandkapoor]

The sillbatta, please wash it and make it wet before use. And yes its scientific that making paste with it tastes better because it's draws the juice out of the leaves, greens of seeds instead of a high speed electric chopping that chops it super fine but does not extract the flavours out. Its same as doing Basil pesto in a food processor vs doing in a pestle and mortar.

[kirielpapillon]

There is definitely a difference in flavour between grinding spices in a mortar and pestle and one of the spice mills that just cut them up finely.
