Roti (indian flat breads) are a staple at most Indian meals.

There are many kinds of breads we eat – naan which is a leavened bread and is usually eaten in restaurants who have a tandoor.  There is roti or chapati which is the simplest of all breads.  Much like a tortilla – is it flour and water – cooked on a flat griddle with no oil.

Then there are parathas which a a bit more special and are cooked with oil or butter.  They can be stuffed or in this case the ingredients are mixed into the dough.

This is a typical Punjabi bread.

When there is leftover daal (lentils) – we add it to flour, along with salt, onions and green chilies.  Then cook it over the griddle with some oil.

If you don’t have daal, this is great with the onions, green chilies and cilantro.

I hope you try it and enjoy it with butter, pickles or yogurt.

I believe the pics are pretty self explanatory.

Write me if you need more help.

Until I cook again!
