Flatbreads are a staple in diets the world over – Italian foccacias, Greek pittas, Mexican tortillas. From India comes rotis, sometimes known as chapatis, which are traditionally made fresh, often taking an hour every day. If you haven’t guessed from the name, the Rotimatic automates the making and baking of rotis. Jamie Davis chats with Aman Pratap  from Zimplistic on this labour-saving device.

The Rotimatic makes fresh rotis and wraps from ingredients loaded into the top of the machine. It mixes the ingredients to a recipe and then cooks them, producing one roti a minute and 20 rotis from one load of ingredients. Roti thickness and browning level can be set on the machine itself, with recipes adjusted to personal preferences and downloaded to the Rotimatic.

The first set of pre-orders is sold out at $599, though you can sign up at their website to be notified when the next batch is released.
