In the 2002 romcom Bend It Like Beckham, Mrs. Barma admonishes her daughter, Jess: “What family would want a daughter-in-law who can run around kicking football all day, but can’t make round chapatis?” South Asian popular culture is replete with such hijinks — of women and their mastery, or lack thereof, of making chapatis, the whole-wheat griddle breads that are ubiquitous in cuisines of the Subcontinent.

Also referred to as rotis or phulkas, chapatis are traditionally made in small batches and served as people are eating. This means women are often in the kitchen kneading, rolling, and cooking while their families and friends are in the dining room eating.

Enter: the Rotimatic.
