Makki di roti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roti, in general, refers to Indian flatbread cooked on an iron griddle. Makki di roti refers to a special type of roti made from cornflour. (Normally wheat flour is used for roti.) Makki di roti literally means "roti made from cornflour".

Makki di roti is yellow in color when ready, and has much less adhesive strength - which makes it difficult to handle. Due to this, making makki di roti is more difficult than roti made from wheat flour.

Makki di roti is often made during the winters in Punjab and is perhaps best known when accompanied with saag or sarson ka saag (cooked mustard green leaves) and lassi (a savoury or sweet drink made from varying combinations of milk, yogurt and water).
