Rotis, Phulkas

The most common bread consumed all over India, and a staple in the Northern parts. It is handmade on a special griddle for the purpose called ‘tawa’ and baked fresh on a stove top as and when required. It is made from whole wheat flour by binding the flour into a dough and rolling out into thin discs and roasting/baking on a ‘tawa’. It’s eaten with breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack.

Ingredients
