This was not what I expected. The roti was bland and the fish sauce was overpowering.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I ended up simplifying it and it turned out just as good.

I've made this roti several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The fish sauce marinade is a great way to tenderize the chicken, and the roti itself is so soft and fluffy. Yum!
