Roti

Roti is the traditional Indian bread, normally eaten with curries or cooked vegetables. It is made most often from wheat flour, cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a tawa. It is similar to a tortilla in appearance. Like breads around the world, roti is a staple accompaniment to other foods, maybe spread with ghee (clarified butter) or yogurt.

Whilst kneading dough can be therapeutic, if time is your enemy, then the food processor is your friend.

Roti are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes.

5. With a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll each roti out into a 13cm (5") disc, about the thickness of a small coin (penny, dime, nickel etc)
