Description

Tandoori Roti is a traditional Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour dough, which is rolled out and cooked in a tandoor—an earthen clay oven heated with charcoal or wood fire. This unique high-heat cooking method imparts a distinct smoky flavor and slightly charred texture, creating a perfect balance between a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The intense heat allows the roti to puff up, forming pockets of air that contribute to its lightness. Tandoori Roti is typically brushed with butter or ghee after baking, enhancing its aroma and richness. It is a quintessential accompaniment to North Indian dishes, particularly tandoori meats, curries, and dals, widely loved in Indian restaurants and households alike for its rustic taste and satisfying texture.
