Haven't done this in the North, but have done so numerous times in Tamil Nadu where my family hails from. Lots of roadside places on the highway etc. The key is to request fresh Rotis/Parattas rather than ones already made. Are they scooping the Korma out of a bucket? Ask them to put it on the griddle until it bubbles for a bit etc...
