I cannot thank you enough for this video… I am a visual and auditory learner..and your video changed my life… from the moment I made these flour tortillas about 3 months ago to today they have been great!!!! I got exactly what you were wanting people to get about the water/flour ratio.. the hot water etc.etc… oh my goodness these are addicting.. I get my cassava flour from Bob’s Red mill and it works just like you say yours does… I didn’t know what tiger milk flour was so I used my almond flour instead and continue to use it to this day… I use my Himalayan salt..and my super hot berky filtered water… ,,the very first time I made these I forgot to put in the oil (avocado is what I use) during the mixing stage… so when I was at the hand mixing stage when you add the oil again I just added the oil then and they came out perfect.. so ever since then I only put in a bit of oil after it has rested just a sec just before you knead it in the final stage just before you tear off your first ball.. and they come out great…. Todays were absolutely perfect… sooooo good.i love it when you turn them over and they bubble up like flying saucers.. I cook my on my dry cast iron round griddle that i got from target..thank you thank you thank you.. I’ve been off gluten 12 years and this is my first opportunity to finally have flour tortillas ..Thank you so much for all your time in making this and other videos… sooooooo appreciative..💕💐😊God’s blessings to you
Aww...so sweet of you to write such a detailed review! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying these tortillas! Take care!

Who else is literally having to become a chemist just so they don’t have to eat gluten and they can still eat bread
Exactly! 💯% ...🙄🤷🤦😅
💯 lol
Me! I’m allergic to starches
I learned to make asian, breads, gravy, pasta, desserts, etc. Goto any Chinatown you can get different flours for cheap.
Me! 😂
So the secret is hot water! I've tried unsuccessfully a few times with cassava flour and tapioca starch but today when I used hot instead of cold water I finally got the right texture❤️🙌🏾👏. Many thanks for the helpful tips
OMGee!!! I've seen this video before but totally missed the hot water bit 😂
So I recently resorted to making sweet potato and cassava roti and it is only clicking now that the HEAT was activating the cassava to behave better than it does in cold water!
I'm so glad I rewatched this video today❤❤❤

Appreciate this detailed video...My first attempt for making tortillas was a failure After seeing this video I have the confidence to try again...Thank You 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your recipe. I have borrowed the basic recipe and come up with lovely savoury rotis that are great for breakfast. In the dry mix, I have added a finely chopped onion, sea salt, lemon juice, coconut aminos, chopped fenugreek leaves and coriander leaves. I’ve cooked with a little EVO oil and it’s delicious. I’ve also made a stuffed paratha by rolling out two rotis from your original recipe and stuffing with mashed boiled tapioca that is seasoned with sea salt, coriander leaves, chopped onion, lemon juice, and coconut aminos. They turned out really well.
thanks for sharing! All yummy recipes!
Hi guys, I live outside of the US (France) and the Otto’s cassava flour was overpriced so I tried « neo flour prenium » and it worked just fine! I had a perfect texture and the same puffiness as your tortillas.
Thanks for sharing your recipies
Thanks for sharing!
Your cassava recipe and technique is the best I have come across 👏. I have seen and tries so many, my head and soul was stating to hurt out of despair. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🤩🥰🙏🏻
Wow, thank you so much! So happy to hear!
Very healthy and easy to❤
glad you liked it!
Thanks so much for this video! After wasting way too much flour by only using "warm" water like other recipes say, with your help I finally had success. Many greetings from Germany!
You are so welcome! Glad you found the video useful.
I am Maria from Africa Uganda
I have just cooked it and it's wonderful 😊
Thank you so much for the video
I have learnt a lot 😊
Awesome. So glad to hear!
Ugandans can make anything that resembles a chapatti 😂😂😂
Excellent video I just came from a video on how to make breadfruit roti that I will also try to make.

You are awesome! I must trybthese. Ut excites me to see how they balloon. I often think yhat my cast ironbwill be damaged if i didnt coat it with vegetable oil spray but i must try your method. Thanks again.
Good luck!
✅thanks a lot ! 🤗
A very good recipe. Fluffs up just like wheat roti. I recently bought the gluten free roti flour from the Indian store for my daughter who has type 1 diabetic/celiac/thyroid..I’m not keen on the flour as it has soy in it and is quite dry. Will definitely try your recipe. Thank you
yes you are correct. Some gluten free blends may have soy and other ingredients that may not be ideal for your health. thank you for your feedback!
I was so excited after watching your video that I immediately went to Amazon and bought you AIP recipe book. Waiting on pins and needles for it to arrive. I have been eating AIP for 6 months now - dragging my husband along for the adventure. I haven't found AIP boring - I have found a few recipe books that have made it a breeze. But i am excited to add more spices to our diet to satisfy our tastebuds. So I can hardly wait for your book to arrive! Thanks so much for what you do!!!
Thank you so much for your excitement for my book! I think you will really like it! And I am glad that you are making AIP interesting by trying new recipes and new cookbooks! Good Luck to you and hope your body heals fast!
One thing when kneading any flour for dough is that working with hands helps soften it and get all the dry bits of flour incorporated. So I would encourage hand mixing instead of using utensil. This is just coming from experience with making all kinds of breads and doughs. Might try that to compare to using utensil. :)
Excited to try this.
I also am curious why you use hot water instead of room temp water?
Thank you so much . Would you please share Cassava flour bread 🍞 recipe .. I am looking something which taste like whole wheat bread ., thanks in advance
I am so glad to find your CZcams channel. I can't wait until I can make it for my daughter who is suffering from AI. Where could I buy those flour?
Thank you so much for sharing!!!👍👍👍
Are you in the US? If yes, you can get them from amazon.com
Thank you!
I am in Vancouver, BC Canada
I was able to order it from Amazon.ca
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. We truly love it and it is better than any kind of tortillas we've ever tried before. You 've made a huge difference and given such a joy in my daughter's life . I cannot thank you enough ❤️🤗
Blessings,
Grace
Hot water! Thanks ❤
thank you for this video you make it easy to try. did you put oil on the pan before you add the roti?
No I did not. When I first bought it, I applied some oil to it. But I don't anymore.
Thanks so much. I’m looking forward to making them. One question. After they are made can I freeze them?
yes you can. But first let them cool as I show in the video before stacking them up and storing.
Please give me how to baking cassava product.
Do you think I could use this recipe for pita bread? Looks delicious!
You can try....but I recommend you make them thicker so that you can stuff inside the pockets. So maybe make 4-5 tortillas using this recipe.
Hi @Cook 2 Nourish! Thank you so much for this video! It’s amazing! Does the brand of the tiger nut flour matter or I can use any trusted good brand? I live in the Uk and Anthony products are hard to come by. Thank you! ❤
yes you can try any brand of tigernut flour as it's needed in a very small quantity. Good Luck!
@@Cook2Nourish amazing! Thank you!
Thank you for your detail recipes. Please share some safe stainless steel (toxic free) pans nd pots do you use or recommend to buy. Preferably from UK 🇬🇧 please
thanks for the feedback. I will add to my list of video topics!
Really great! Why do you use tiger nut flour?
So Thankful! 🙏💕
It is optional however it adds a slight nutty flavor and makes the texture better too.
@@Cook2Nourish Thank you so much! ❤️
I saw cassava flour on a half price deal, I am already vegan but for medical reasons now also gluten free, so i looked up a recipe for using my cassava flour and came across this detailed video, which i am so grateful for because i cooked a few gluten free things and failed.. i am hopeful watching all your detail that this will not be a failure for me. thank you and looking forward to seeing some of your other video's. Jai Jinendra 🙏
You should not be wearing rings when prepping food, it's not hygienic...
@@mariapangindian5961 i don't know what you mean, i don't even have any rings to wear so i'm not cooking with any jewelery except my watch.
Hi can you use a pastelle press to make it round?
is that like a tortilla press? Then yes that should work although I have not used it.
Thank you for your video! Can I not add olive oil ?
Yes you can avoid it if you want but I find the dough to be better - non sticky when you add oil
Hi. Your recipe looks great. Do you know which flour I can use in the UK?
Can you find cassava flour there? I am not familiar with UK brands.
@@Cook2Nourish Hi. Thanks for your reply. I can only find cassava flour mixed with a bit of water. The kind they use in Brazil to make their tapioca sandwiches. The texture seems different than what you are using
What brand of tigernur flour do you use?
I use Anthony's

Would it be OK to use ghee. Thanks for yourhelp
Yes you can if you are ok with ghee!
So well explained and will try it! Hashimotos and need for AIP diet (from strict keto) led me here! I have read medical articles that cassava is goitrogenic for people suffering with low thyroid and to avoid it for iodine absorption, any truth to this?
I have not read any articles regarding that. If you have the source, please share.
Did you use any baking powder how was able to rise
No baking powder needed. It doesn't rise like bread. It just puffs up while cooking.
how good athese for digestion?? hope they dont cause bloating etc??
Most people tolerate cassava flour well. However there are a small % who have gut issues and who may be sensitive to cassava flour.
You can get cassava flour in larger sizes at your local African grocery store
Where do you buy tiger nut flour?
I get Anthony's Brand from amazon.
Can you freeze them before cooking it? To have them ready throughout the week?
I am not sure how they will stay if you Freeze them uncooked. But you can certainly cook them all the way and then freeze them. You will need to thaw a couple hours at room temperature and then warm them in a pan or microwave.
Hii maam.
Are u free of all urs meds with AIP diet..
Are u free from RA
hello dear and thank you is the cassava flour you used is the same as tapioca flour ?
No Cassava flour and tapioca flour are two different things although they are made from the same cassava tuber. Cassava flour included the fiber part too whereas tapioca flour only has the starchy part. For this roti recipe, you need to use cassava flour only. Tapioca flour will not work for this recipe.
Tapioca is cassava starch
Question please: Why doesn't the Anthony's Organic Cassava flour work?
I don't know the reason. But the texture of their organic flour is very different from their Premium one. And the tortillas/ rotis made with the organic one taste different too.
Can you freeze them after they cool.?
Yes you can. Place some parchment sheet between each one so it's easy to thaw a few at a time.
AAA+++Bedford, Texas
Can you store these long term in the freezer?
I have not tried but I think you can. Just place each roti between parchment or butter paper.
I am going on AIP diet. Can you tell how often can I eat this roti, I am already eating water chestnut roti twice a week, can you guide me on this please
AIP diet does not have restrictions on calories however in general a balanced carb/protein/fat ratio is recommended. I like to recommend a 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat ratio where vegetables should form the majority of the carbs bucket with a small % for grain free flours like cassava. And each individual is different. Initially I used to have cassava rotis once a day but over time I do not feel the need for them as much and really focus on getting my nutrition from fish/meat and veggies. Hope that helps.
@@Cook2Nourish Thank you so much for replying. I am new to AIP diet and just discovered cassava flour through your videos. Also I am pure vegetarian but thinking of introducing fish in my diet soon. I do understand to maintain a healthy balance of carbs in my diet but living in India I was too used to eating rotis to introducing this flour will open up many new options for me. Thank you for introducing it to me :)
Mine is coming out really hard after fried. When mixing it's kind of crumbly doesn't look like yours. I'm using tiana cassava flour and don't have any other flour. You have any idea what could be wrong?
I think it's the brand of cassava flour. Diff brands behave very differently. Did you try to add more hot water?
I am using the exact same cassava flour brand minus the tiger nut flour ye and find that it does not puff up for me. The texture and look looks different, and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong )):
Are you using hot water to knead? And are you using cast iron pan to cook it? Both are important. Not sure why it's not.
Is suitable for diabetics??
Cassava flour, also known as tapioca flour, has a glycemic index (GI) score of 46, which is lower than other flours like wheat (85), potatoes (78), and rice (70).
What does this taste like? Is it similar to Wheat based rotis?
It's not exactly like the wheat roti but kind of like a soft roomali roti that is made with all purpose flour. I have another Chapati recipe that uses a combination of cassava and water chestnut flour which is very similar to the traditional wheat roti. Check that video out.
Here's the link to the other recipe: czcams.com/video/F2j_Z-68qgw/video.html
Can you make naan with this?
Check out my AIP naan recipe video.
@@Cook2NourishI don’t have tiger nut flour, so I’m going to use semonlina flour instead and see how that turns out
Mam, which brand you recommend for cassava in India?
Good question but unfortunately I don't know what brands are good in India as I have not tried any of them. I do see some brands available on amazon.in so maybe you can check the reviews. If you do find a good one, please do share! Good Luck!
@@Cook2Nourish ok. Sure.

Cassava flour is the same that Tapioca Flour?
Hello no cassava flour and tapioca flour are slightly different even though they are both made from the same root vegetable cassava. The cassava flour has all the fiber included in it while tapioca flour has only starch in it.
Why won't the organic cassava flour work as well as the premium?
Good question. I don't know the answer except that the texture of the organic flour is different....
I made this but with just cassava and added some baking powder not sure if it was needed?🙄
Not needed but how did it turn out?
OK mine didn’t puff what did I do wrong?
What kind of pan did you use? The pan needs to be really hot. Also cast iron is the best.
Has anyone ever frozen these tortillas successfully?
Are your tortillas gritty?
No they are not. I only use Anthony's brand premium cassava flour.
Mine does not puff up and it stays raw in middle.
hmm...are you using the recommended brands of cassava flour? And then what kind of pan are you using? That can make a difference too.
@@Cook2Nourish thanks for the reply!
Yes, using the same flour as you, and using a cast iron pan on a gas stove.
I kept practicing them and they’ve improved.
One side gets a nice colour, the other side stays very pale looking :/
@Mr Luck did you ever fix the issue of one side being pale. My first batch came out perfect. My 5 batches after that have the same pale problem, and undercooked in the middle. I uses Anthony's, but then cheaped out and got IYA Brand because I wanted to practice. 🤦🏾♂️
It is much safer to use a pan for beginners when making your cassava tortias.The pan cause severed
damaged to a person hand.
Are you saying that the cast iron pan caused damage? I am sorry that happened but I cannot be responsible if people are not careful in the kitchen.
Though cassava is a safe ingredient to eat when cooked, it contains the harmful chemical 'cyanide' when raw or cooked improperly .
This may cause cyanide poisoning and lead to certain paralysis conditions.
Only certain cassava plants are poisonous. Those are not used in cooking or used to make cassava flour. The manufacturers who make cassava flour make sure that they do not contain any poisonous ingredients. Just check manufacturer's website wherever you are purchasing from.
What is the difference between Anthony's premium and Anthony's organic cassava flour?
I guess the premium is not organic but there's a great difference in texture and taste of the rotis and I prefer the Premium one.
I’m confuse gluten-free newbie
I’m crying rn Isn’t it already hard enough to make gluten-free bread now I have to buy a certain brand of flour even though I already have cassava in my cabinet right now not hating on the video just frustrating cooking gfAll I eat is fried rice lol
