During these difficult times, Passion for Spices™ Team has put together beautiful illustrated recipes for you and your family to enjoy. Our first series is Classic Breads from Around the World, a three part series including Country Loaf Bread, Focaccia, and Flatbreads from Around the World.

Part 3: Indian Roti

This is a classic flatbread from India, and is a staple food for many families in different regions of India. Rotis are eaten alongside many vegetarian/non-vegetarian curries and subzis, which are mixed vegetable dishes made with seasonal vegetables. Gluten-free variations of the roti and many other Indian flatbreads can be found in May Fridel’s American Diabetes Association published Indian Cuisine Diabetes Cookbook. Enjoy making fresh rotis at home!
