Why Aldi Australia shoppers are raving about this ‘mouthwatering’ $4.29 buy: ‘It’s my new obsession’

Home cooks are ‘obsessed’ with a cheap Aldi buy that’s ‘perfect’ for every meal.

Mothers are flocking to the discount supermarket to get their hands on the $4.29 roti flatbreads, with many claiming it tastes as good as restaurant food.

Urban Eat’s Indian-style roti paratha has been a staple in Australian kitchens for years, with thousands filling up on the versatile purchase.

Found in the frozen aisle, the flaky, layered flatbread comes in a pack of eight that costs just 53 cents per roti.

Shoppers have paired the ‘divine’ purchase with cheese, Nutella and strawberries, curry, vegetables – or simply devoured it fresh off the pan.

One mother went so far as to stop others from buying the flatbread – so she could have them all for herself.

“These are absolutely terrible,” she joked. “As a public service, I will buy them all so you don’t have to suffer the convenience of flaky, buttery Roti that can be cooked straight from frozen.”

She added: ‘Jokes aside, this is my new obsession!’

Preparing the flatbread is simple – just spray or put a few drops of oil on your pan and then cook until soft.

Many similarly praised the immediate purchase.

‘I cook them in my sandwich press, so delicious!’ said one.

‘These are so good. I put the mozzarella in the middle of two plates and then cook on both sides. Great,” added another.

‘They are the best and always in my freezer,’ one woman wrote.

One home cook said: ‘I roll them up with Nutella, strawberries and ice cream. They are so good – both sweet and salty!’
