Home chefs are ‘obsessed’ with a cheap Aldi purchase that is ‘perfect’ for every meal.
Moms are flocking to the discount supermarket to get their hands on the $4.29 roti flatbreads, with many claiming it tastes just as good as restaurant food.
The Urban Eats Indian-style roti paratha has been a staple in Australian kitchens for years, with thousands stocking the versatile purchase.
The flaky, layered flatbread, found in the frozen aisle, comes in a pack of eight, which costs just 53 cents per roti.
Shoppers have paired the ‘divine’ purchase with cheese, Nutella and strawberries, curry, vegetables – or simply eaten it fresh from the pan.

One mother even went so far as to stop others from buying the flatbreads so she could have them all to herself.
“These are absolutely awful,” she joked. “As a public service, I will be purchasing them all so that you don’t have to suffer the convenience of a flaky, buttery roti that can be made straight from the freezer.”
She added, “Jokes aside, this is my new obsession!”
Baking the flatbread is simple: all you need to do is spray or add a few drops of oil to your pan and then cook until soft.
