Roti is an unleavened Indian bread that is traditionally eaten with lunch and dinner. Roti is made with just 2 ingredients, atta and water!
WHAT IS ATTA, AND WHERE CAN I BUY IT?
Atta is stone-ground wholemeal wheat flour. Atta can be purchased at Indian grocery stores or from the Asian food aisle at your local supermarket.
