Roti is a round flatbread that is native to the Indian subcontinent and is commonly consumed in many South Asian countries. It is made from a mixture of flour, water, and optionally salt and butter or oil. After they are mixed together to create a dough, it is left to rest and then flattened with a rolling pin. It is then heated on a tava or pan. Roti is an unleavened flatbread made with just a handful of ingredients – finely milled whole wheat flour, water, and optionally ghee or oil and salt. It is traditionally eaten with cooked vegetables or curries and can be used as a carrier for them. Roti is an integral part of Indian cuisine, especially in North India, and is eaten every day by many people. There are many variations of flatbreads and roti found in many cultures across the globe, from the Indian subcontinent to Africa to Oceania to the Malay Peninsula to the Americas.
