Rumali roti is a popular Indian flatbread made with white and wheat flour, water, and oil. The dough is baked on a traditional tawa, and since it is extremely thin, it was named handkerchief (rumali) bread. Some say that the bread got its name because it was used instead of a handkerchief after a meal.
Rumali roti is typically served as an accompaniment to various curries or with any sort of liquid meal that can be scooped up with the flatbread. It is important to serve the bread slightly moist so that it does not become stiff and unpalatable. Although it has origins in the Mughal cuisine, today it is mainly consumed in North India and Pakistan.

Akki rotti is a dish that is especially popular in the Indian region of Karnataka, consisting of griddle-baked rice flour that is shaped like a pancake or a flatbread. It is commonly consumed either for breakfast or lunch, usually accompanied by various chutneys.
Onions, carrots, coriander, cumin, and sesame seeds can also be added to the dough before baking in order to enhance the flavors of the dish. Originally, a housewife had some leftover rice, but decided to make a new dish using the leftovers, so she mashed the rice, added some salt and rice flour, and baked the dough on a tawa, creating a staple dish in the process.
