Talk about India, and there is no way you can avoid talking about delicious, hot rotis. Rotis are traditional Indian breads that are eaten with just about anything the kitchen can churn out. They are eaten with dry and semi liquid vegetable preparations, as well as with gravies. The rotis are rolled out on a rolling board and with the help of a rolling pin. In India these are must-haves in the kitchen. Traditionally, the rolling board and pin were made from marble or wood. In time, however, synthetic materials are being experimented with. Metals are also being used now. The traditional use of the rolling board and pin is to roll out the dough made of wheat flour for the chappatis or rotis.
The rolling board is the base of the unique equipment, while the pin is used to roll out the dough. The roti dough is placed on the board and pressed into shape by the pin. The rolling board and pin is a common sight even above the dining areas of modern Indian homes and restaurant. Like other typical Indian kitchen ware, the board and pin set also adds warmth and appeal to the ambience. Other than the traditional use of rolling out delicious chappatis or rotis, the rolling board and pin set is also used to compliment the grinding pistle and mortar whenever needed. The board and pin set can be used to crush condiments and spices.
It is not uncommon to see the Indian child play with a miniature of the rolling board and pin. Children love to imitate the adult woman in the home, at work in the kitchen.
