India’s most traditional flatbreads come in three main types—Roti, Paratha, and Naan—all made primarily from flour. Each type is prepared using different cooking methods, resulting in distinctly different flavors and textures. Roti is the most common and basic form of Indian flatbread. It is made from flour, water, and a small amount of oil, formed into small round balls. It is not fermented; instead, it is flattened and cooked on a hot skillet until done.
