About

Cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a tawa, this deliciously soft roti is served hot, brushed with ghee or butter. It can be used to scoop other foods, or stuffed with a savoury filling such as the potato in the Vada pav (Mumbai burgers), or the cabbage filling from the Buckwheat & cabbage momos.
