Family stories, Indian food, and a roti-making challenge

Aneel’s grandparents have arrived from India, bringing family traditions into his home. Dada-ji’s stories describe a daring boyhood powered, he says, by hot roti and mango pickle. Curious whether that power remains, Aneel sets out to make roti himself. Food and storytelling connect the generations, while the cooking task gives the child protagonist a way to explore his grandfather’s tales and the family’s cultural traditions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about grandparents and family life.
  • Young readers curious about Indian foods and cultural traditions.
  • Families looking for a picture-book story that brings food and storytelling together.

Book overview

Overflowing with family, food, and a tall stack of fun, Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-ji is sure to warm the heart and tickle the tummy. A fun way for children to learn about the cultural traditions and foods of India to be enjoyed by the whole family.

Aneel's grandparents have come to stay, all the way from India. Aneel loves the sweet smell of his grandmother's incense, and his grandfather, Dada-ji, tells the world's best stories.

When he was a boy, adventurous, energetic Dada-ji had the power of a tiger. Hunh-ji! Yes, sir! He could shake mangoes off trees and wrangle wild cobras. And what gave him his power? Fluffy-puffy hot, hot roti, with a bit of tongue-burning mango pickle. Does Dada-ji still have the power? Aneel wants to find out-but first he has to figure out how to whip up a batch of hot, hot roti.

Overflowing with family, food, and a tall stack of fun, Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-ji is sure to warm the heart and tickle the tummy. Hunh-ji! Yes, sir!
