We may just be a car blog and share the occasional auto-related tips, but sometimes we like to bring you other news slightly afield that you might find interesting or maybe even useful. Not too long ago, we brought you the recipe for Dashboard Cookies (article in BM), that is cookies baked on the dashboard of a car parked under the hot sun. Test reviews said the cookies were chewy and infused with the car’s interior scent. So, although disgusting, but baked they were.
Turns out the car can double not just as an oven, but a griddle too. In India now where they are experiencing one of the hottest summers ever, a woman from Odisha is proving how unbelievably sweltering it is there by cooking roti, a type of flatbread, on the bonnet of a car.
In a local news clip that has now gone viral, she is seen rolling out dough before flipping it on the bonnet as brown spots begin to develop, indicating that it is being cooked.

While we cannot confirm the veracity of her method, temperature at Odisha shot past 44°C yesterday and one commenter said they had burnt their hands when moving their bike from the sun into the shade.
