Roti is a popular South Asian flat bread made from wholemeal flour. It is consumed in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and of course Sri Lanka. As with most types of bread, there are countless variations of roti. Ranging from the addition of egg to coconut to vegetables . Roti is similar to chapati and naan bread but naan bread is yeast-leavened and chapati is a thinner variant. Versatility is one of the stronger points of roti. It can be eaten with a variety of spicy curries for a savory flavor or with fruit and sweetened condensed milk for a sweet dish.
Roti can be bought pre-made where the consumer just has to cook the roti on a heated stove and serve, these can be surprisingly well made and make for a great meal if your in a hurryor don't want to spend too much time cooking. For the more traditionally inclined a dough can be made allowing for the addition of their favorite ingredients and cooked in a similar manner. Roti is also a great replacement in bread to make sandwich like meals and rolls.
All in all a very versatile flat bread with alot of room to make it your own way.
