What is A Roti?

or roti or chapati is a type of Indian bread that is often enjoyed alongside a delicious, spicy and incredibly flavorful curry. A simple combination of ingredients creates a wonderful bread that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

You may already be familiar with sourdough, such as naan, which I have a sourdough naan recipe for.

All you need is some water and your choice of flour, although I recommend using authentic 'chapati flour' as the results are phenomenal!

Which type of flour is best to use for making Chapati?

When it comes to the best type of flour to use for your homemade chapati, there are several options to choose from, though I would always advise you to go for 'chapati flour'. This is also called atta, chapati, roti or hard wheat flour.

However, you can also use whole wheat flour, or chickpea flour, although you may end up with a very different texture.
