@UA-camReviewsAndTutorialsthat’s what I was thinking. The sugar is probably a more modern addition, but that process looks as old as the day we figured out we could harvest wheat to make flour.
It's funny here in Denmark we have a somewhat similar concept with something we call 'snobrød', which is basically dough rolled out in a long snake-look and then wrapped around a clean-cut stick at the top of it ('sno' and 'brød means 'wrap' and 'bread'. so essentially it'd be translated to wrapbread), then you hold it over the embers of a fire, slowly turn it as you see it cook, and once cooked/baked visually on the outside you can slide it off of the stick and either eat it as is or use some sort of condiment with it. you can use anything from fruity stuff to more 'dinner' style stuff like a curry, ketchup, or as a side item to a main dish. This is just bread around rock rather than bread around stick, but still quite similar after all.
We do the same in Australia and call it "damper." The trick is to avoid getting caught stuffing more butter and jam into it than your mum thinks you should have. :D
Same in Germany, it’s called „stick bread“. We prepare it regularly (if we happen to have a campfire, which isn’t as often as I’d like😊) either normal or with a bit of chocolate in it, then it’s the sweet version. The kids love them both.
In the time of Dawud and Suleiman/David and Solomon, how a man cared for the women in his household was the measure of his worthiness to rule the nation. Seems like Mustafa could be a king.
I absolutely love seeing how these guys cook and how they live. I've lived a pretty sheltered life in a 98% white State in the USA. I truly love these people and respect them 100%. Please ask them to do more cooking. 😊
I remember when we lived in Iran the smell of fresh naan baking. There was a small bakery just down the street from our home that had a clay oven for all of their baking needs. The floor of the oven was lined with small pebbles and when that fresh naan came out is was so fluffy and crispy. We would each get a round of it and shake the pebbles out as we ate it on our way home. To this day I crave that bread.
I had the same with Dominican pan de agua. The first time I tried it, I was with my ex-husband's cousins and we went to the bakery and got a garbage bag full of it for the house, but since it was still crispy and hot, we ate one in the car on the way home! I can find it in my area, but it's never the same as having it fresh. Crusty on the outside, soft inside
Same in Pakistan, and then they used to coat it with ghee the line was always long but always worth it Wish I could go back to that moment for just a second
my heart has just been in pieces with what the palestinians are going through right now, it’s been consuming me to an unhealthy degree so I decided to take a break and watch something hole some and light hearted and man did this nail it!!! Mama is my favorite! I loved watching him in his element and really really wish i could jump through the phone to taste the roti!
This is the traditional bread of a few places of skardu Batistan made by round stones of rivers. Travelers were using it. It's durable for a long time. Masha Allah
In this case, is the coal not dirty? Seems strange to wrap a Roti round a dirty coal when you’re going to eat it? I understand with the river stones as they are clean but coal is very dirty?
It's scrub -- from brush and woody stems of plants, not from trees. But, yes, deforestation is an acute problem. There's a cooker made in Africa that only requires half the wood of open fires or traditional cookers. It might help in rural Pakistan as well, but you couldn't make Mama Mustafa's roti with it.
@@whatgoesaroundcomesaround920 I think it's naturally like that there and they're actually keeping a lot of those trees alive through watering and cultivation
All of you are such incredible people. I wish everyone would watch reactistan and learn about how wonderful people really are in this region of the world. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. ♥
I really enjoyed watching this! I love mustafa he is a wise man and thank you for sharing this with the world and your village! Sending much love to your family❤
What a trip to finallY see "Roti Boss" Mustapha do what he does best on the coals-cook up his beloved food, and what a spectacle it is! P.S. This would be interesting to add to a restaurant cooked in this style, as you caN eat off coals and dine out whilst eating both healthy and deliciouslY!!! 😍
This was great. It's important to know how to cook over a fire with just what's available. It reminded me that as a young girl at summer camp we would mold the dough around the end of a stick and roast it over an open fire. The stick would create a hole at the bottom we'd fill with jam. We called them dough boys. Please give us videos showing traditional methods of cooking, or anything really. I'm fascinated and think this is important information to pass out. Thank you for channel.
I've missed Mama Mustafa (and all the Reactistan family) so much ❤ I loved watching this video and would really like to see more 😊 (And please let us know how the two lovely ladies are getting on 🌹🌷🌹)
All I could think of was the year I went to visit my ex's husband family at Christmas, and ate a vegetable empanada prepared on the street. My mother-in-law prepared goat for Christmas day, and needless to say, I was not able to enjoy any of it.
"House flies don’t bite. Unlike mosquitoes that transmit pathogens of human health importance in their saliva, house flies transmit pathogens on their feet and body. As well as leaving behind pathogen-filled footprints, the flies leave their poop on our food. They vomit too. Flies don’t have teeth. They can’t take a bite out of our food, so they have to spit out some enzyme-rich saliva that dissolves the food, allowing them to suck up the resulting soup of regurgitated digestive fluids and partially dissolved food. If a fly has plenty of time to walk around on our food vomiting up, sucking in and defecating out, the chances of leaving behind a healthy population of pathogens are high."
@@LindaC616 In many countries "street" food is usually regarded as some of the best tasting, quality food available. The items may be prepared and sold in designated market areas or they may be prepared and served to guests in the family home. The cook buys the very freshest ingredients and gets up extremely early to prepare (chop, peel, cut, marinate, etc.) them. Then those ingredients and any utensils, pots/pans, et al are used in finishing and cooking food served as fresh as possible. Cooking in many cultures (for example Hispanic, Italian, Mama Mustafa's) is an important family activity resulting in preparing and serving food with pride, love, and care. Cabrito (goat) is usually served for very special occasions as it can be more expensive than other meat. It requires time; skilled preparers, carvers, and cooks; and some special equipment.
@marthawelch4289 my mother in law had a cafeteria so I'm well aware of prep, as she made the juices that she sold right in the house. However, the vegetable empanada from the little market across the street was the culprit. I didn't appreciate having food poisoning on Christmas day
Dear Reactistan and Mama Mustafa... I have been thinking upon you all and I am curious if you could post another video of your village and how it is these days. I really enjoy watching them and it is wonderful seeing updates. I hope you are all happy and healthy now and I look forward to more videos of the village.
In Britain, during the early Georgian era, that actually happened. Up through the 1750s, quality control was a major problem for the bakers' guild. It didn't stop at sawdust, even bones and chalk were added to bread in place of flour.
@@luna7157 Nasty, if it's just to scam people (like the chinese fake egg, tainted child formula etc).. if it was due to famine then I can understand - here in Sweden we added pine bark to the bread..
Preservatives, additives, food colouring, all those e-numbers on our favourite foods, GMO etc. The man might not be able to articulate it the same way a scientist or nutritionist will but he's right. This time last year I was in Pakistan on a family holiday. I stopped drinking coca cola because it was so sweet it my gums started hurting. I'm pre-diabetic and have often found after having a large meal or a meal consisting of a lot of carbs i get groggy and tired. I try to eat lo-carb in the UK. When in Pakistan, when I was in our village, I ate carbs twice a day, rice or bread, but it was organic, grown on our own farms, fertilised only by the dung of our animals and the compost heap. The animals only eat grass from our own lands. Nothing gets any pesticides etc. I did not get the same carb tiredness that I get usually. In our efforts to sustain large scale urban life, we have sacrificed quality.
i would prefer mixed food from a restaurant over slightly burnt bread that can cause cancer and was cooked on a random stone that might leach all kind of heavy metals into the bread too while baking full of ashes and also flies in the dough too
lol yeah eat that mixed food from restaurant that use ingredients that you cant even pronounce nor you have any idea what they are doing to you, each ingredient all fruits and vegetables have been sprayed by GMO and the restaurants add other chemicals to make food taste better and addicting. i live in the west i eat this crap restaurant food all the time and its made me sick..if i could i would rather eat that way
the original roti from mustafa's village! finally we see the legendary food that all others originate from!
the first buns
@UA-camReviewsAndTutorialsthat’s what I was thinking. The sugar is probably a more modern addition, but that process looks as old as the day we figured out we could harvest wheat to make flour.
What an honor to have Mustafa prepare roti for us with his own hands.

but we dont wrap it around the stick.. we twist it.
Yeah we have the same in Sweden but we call it pinnbröd "stickbread". Classic thing to do as a kid around the campfire
Finally, been waiting for a "Roti in his village" tutorial. Thank you, Uncle.
This is a rerun.
It's always so intimate to have the privilege of seeing how someone cooks a dish that's significant to them and their culture
Alhamdulillah may Allah bless you my Muslims brother. Salam from Malaysia...
I love how Mama Mustafa cleaned his roti like you clean a bowling ball 🙂
Wishing you all the best
Like in 'The Big Lebowski'.
An honor to be able to take a fascinating peek at Mustafa preparing an ancient recipe. Thank You!
What an honor to be welcomed into his home and treated as guests!

Really interesting to see how other people cook. Thank you Mama Mustafa for sharing this.
Mustafa Is by far my favorite
I love how no matter where you live the younger generation will always look at the older like wow! This is an interesting way of preparation lol❤️❤️❤️

Wow now I see why poor Mama doesn’t really have a palate for other good. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone make roti 🫓 this way. Amazing
Question: does his village have to import wood for fire or is there nearby sources?
No they collect their own wood from fields and mountains
Usually they cut branches from trees and then left them for couple of weeks to dry.
This village is in a mountainous region. Those mountains have trees. There are woods beside the river too.

I just noticed he lost part of his right fingers🥺🙏
No one had noticed that for the longest time, because he generally keeps it hidden. But it became evident about a year or so ago
Wait what happened to his right hand? I've never noticed that on the studio videos.
What else than food is 'pure food'? He always seem to think people add sawdust to the roti or whatever :)
