About

Flat breads are a great accompaniment to vegetarian dishes. They can be served with chutneys and pickles or as part of a main meal. Chapatis are dry-roasted on an iron griddle (tawa). The dough can also be used to make phulkas, which puff up like balloons under the grill and are delicious spread with melted butter.
