Submitted by Charishma_Ramchandani

"This roti or Indian flatbread is a super favourite with my husband and my father too. It is not so easy at all to prepare it and it can be a messy affair. However, it tastes really nice and is a "must-have" in our household as a comfort food, snack or a breakfast too. Do try it and enjoy it!"
