“Bhai log ye roti khane ki roti nhi hai thanda k din rat me rajai ka kam karti hai odh k so jaw nind badhiya hoti hai (Brothers, this is not the kind of roti you eat; it works as a quilt on cold nights. Just wrap yourself in it and sleep peacefully for a great night’s rest),” came from one user.

“Set everything else aside… but making such a big roti by hand truly requires talent,” posted another.
World’s largest roti
Although the video caption says it is the world’s largest 12-foot roti, it doesn’t look that long.

It measured 10 ft by 10 ft and weighed 145 kg.
Some media reports claim that Kailash Soni of Rajasthan’s Bhilwara made the world’s largest roti in October-November 2023. The roti weighed 207 kg, as per the reports. Reportedly, the tawa on which the roti was made weighed 1,000 kg. It was also reported that 1,000 kg of coal had been used to make that roti.
