Contexto cultural
This phrase stems from the 'Dhaba' culture of North India where rotis are made in a clay oven (tandoor) and served immediately. The term 'laga' refers to the act of sticking the dough to the walls of the tandoor. It captures the essence of the Indian hospitality philosophy where food is served hot and heartfully.
The 'Aur' Trick
If you are still hungry, say 'Ek aur laga do' (Serve one more). It sounds much more natural than restarting the whole order.
Watch the Tone
While 'Laga do' is standard, saying it too loudly or sharply can sound like a command. Keep your tone friendly!

What It Means
Do roti laga do is a classic Indian phrase. It literally means 'Apply two rotis.' In a food context, it means 'Serve me two more.' It is the standard way to order bread in India. It implies a sense of readiness and freshness. You aren't just ordering food; you are asking for it to be served right now.
How To Use It
Use this when you are already eating. Or use it when you first sit down. Simply state the number of rotis you want. Follow it with laga do. It works for Paratha or Naan too. Just swap the word Roti for your bread of choice. It is short, punchy, and very effective.
When To Use It
You will use this most at a 'Dhaba' or a local eatery. It is perfect for roadside stops. Use it at home when talking to family. Use it when you are hungry and want quick service. It sounds confident and like you know the drill. It is great for quick lunches or late-night dinners.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this in high-end, five-star fine dining. In those places, use 'Please bring' or Le aaiye. Don't use it in a formal business meeting. It might sound a bit too casual there. Also, don't use it for non-food items. You can't 'laga do' a glass of water. That would just sound weird and confusing.
Cultural Background
In India, rotis are often served one by one. This ensures they stay hot and puffed up. The word laga implies 'putting it on the plate' or 'on the fire.' It reflects the culture of fresh, handmade meals. It shows the intimate connection between the cook and the diner. It is a very 'earthy' and grounded expression.
Common Variations
If you want to be more polite, say Laga dijiye. This is better for elders or strangers. For a single roti, say Ek roti laga do. If you are with friends, just say Do aur laga. You can also specify the type like Butter roti laga do. Each variation keeps the same 'freshly served' vibe.
Notas de uso
This phrase sits in the 'informal to neutral' zone. It's the bread-and-butter (pun intended) of North Indian dining. Just remember to use 'dijiye' if you want to show extra respect to the person serving you.
The 'Aur' Trick
If you are still hungry, say 'Ek aur laga do' (Serve one more). It sounds much more natural than restarting the whole order.
Watch the Tone
While 'Laga do' is standard, saying it too loudly or sharply can sound like a command. Keep your tone friendly!
The Hot Roti Rule
In India, it's common to order 2 rotis at a time rather than 10 at once. This ensures you only eat them while they are steaming hot.
