Indian Bread Classes: Rotis, Naan, Stuffed Paratha with Accompanying Curry

Indian breads represent a rich variety of flatbreads, most crafted from wheat flour known as Ata or chapatti flour, and maida (all-purpose flour). These breads exhibit remarkable diversity in texture and preparation: some are rich and flaky, others puffed and steamy, herbed and crisp, or so delicate they shatter at the slightest touch. Roti and chapati, both unleavened wheat-flour breads, are rolled considerably thinner than naan and cooked on a tawa, or flat griddle. The two breads share such similarity that they are frequently interchanged in name; technically speaking, chapati represents a specific category of roti.

Class Menu:

• Roti and chapatti
• Naan
• Aloo paratha (potato-filled flatbread)
• Poori (traditional fried bread)
• Chana masala (spiced chickpea curry)
