Flat roti, a staple in South Asian cuisine, is a soft, unleavened bread typically made from whole wheat flour, water, and sometimes oil or salt. Its origins trace back to the Indian subcontinent, where it is a daily accompaniment to various dishes. The simplicity of its ingredients makes it a versatile and widely-loved food item. Flat roti is rich in carbohydrates, providing energy, and when made with whole wheat flour, it also contains fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. However, depending on the preparation method, its health profile can vary; adding excessive oil or pairing it with calorie-dense dishes may increase its overall fat and calorie content. Traditionally cooked on a hot griddle or open flame, flat roti is ideal for those seeking a lighter bread alternative, particularly when made without added fats or refined flours. It's suitable for a variety of diets and complements many flavors.
