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.

This was my first time making roti, and it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow, and the roti cooked perfectly. The fish sauce added a nice flavor to the dish.

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!
