 Introduction to Indian Breads

 

There are many different types of Indian bread, all of which are interchangeable and can be chosen according to the taste.

Stuffed bread can make a meal on its own with a vegetable curry and some chutney.

The indigenous breads of India are flat (unleavened) breads known as roti, made from ground whole wheat (ata), millet (bajra) or sorghum (jowar).

When kneaded with fat and made into thin pancake  - like wafers they are called chappatis.  There are shallow - fried parathas, deep - fried puris, and baked naan.

ROTI  RECIPES>>

Some people add a little ghee or oil to the dough because it makes the roti softer. Some rotis served in restaurants, such as the roomali roti (thin and large like a handkerchief) have eggs mixed in the dough.

Unleavened bread is best eaten a few minutes after cooking. Some people prefer chapatis puffed up - phulka. For this you need an open flame beside the hot griddle.
