Another individual found some discrepancy in the information provided in the video about atta. “Also slightly incorrect explanation. Atta is specifically ground in a way that damages some amount of starch and protein, which makes it unsuitable for baking bread but specifically perfect for roti/paratha, so that we get both non-chewiness plus just enough gluten to puff up,” they wrote.
“There is another flat bread called “Puri” that puffs up when floated, but only in oil,” joked another. “Will I get my money back, if it doesn’t puff up??” questioned a Twitter user. “Flat bread puffs up. Water is wet. Salt is salty,” sarcastically wrote another.
