A post about the “Indian Flatbread getting fluffy” by a leading food outlet on Twitter has sparked hilarious comments from the Indian audience online. The tutorial shared by Food Insider about “how Indian bread is made” led the users to point out that it was nothing special but “everyday Rotis or the Chaptis” cooked in the Indian kitchens. Shortly, a meme fest was launched on the post as Tweeples called the tutorial so ‘mainstream’ as “the water is wet” or “the fire is hot”.
“Phulka, roti, or chapatti is a traditional flatbread made from wheat flour that puffs up when cooked,” the video tutorial explained, further, adding, it is “high on gluten and pairs well with curries”. On the Food Insider website, a blog detailed the “recipe of the Indian bread when cooked on open flames” in a video and wrote that it is “often used as interchangeably”. Further, in the tutorial, the site wrote that the unique Indian recipe was made with “high gluten wheat flour that enabled the bread to puff without breaking”.

Like the 'salt is salty?' asks internet
Saying that the food tutorial website was already several years late and that the world “ kinda already knows that rotis puff” and the information was “centuries-old”, users poured in humorous response on the post. “There is another flatbread called Puri that puffs up when floated, but only in oil,” wrote a user while making an emoticon. “What even is wrong with you?” wrote another. “Flatbread puffs up, Water is wet, Salt is salty,” wrote the third. “White people, I know you’re going to call an Indian takeout place all excited, spend 10 mins explaining how you want this big round puffy bread and omg it’s kinda like naan but isn’t, and then get mad when the guy at the restaurant doesn’t know what you’re talking about,” wrote the fourth, astonished at the discovery.
