Missi roti

Missi roti is a North Indian variety of roti, an unleavened flatbread made by combining whole wheat flour, gram flour, salt, water, and a blend of freshly ground Indian spices such as red chili powder, cumin seed powder, carom seed powder, turmeric, coriander, and crushed dry pomegranate seeds.

The resulting dough is often enhanced with sliced green chilis and finely chopped vegetables such as onions, spinach, or fenugreek leaves. The dough is then rolled into flat disks before it is traditionally cooked on a hot iron griddle called tawa until brown and slightly crispy.

This spiced flatbread is usually brushed with ghee or oil and it's traditionally served piping hot with a wide variety of chutneys, curries, sabzis (mixed vegetable dishes), mixed lentil dishes, pickles, or curd. Missi roti commonly accompanies Indian breakfasts, but it can be eaten at any time of the day, and with any meal.
