Makai Roti
Veg
Vegan
A flatbread made from maize (makai/corn) flour — thick, slightly coarse, and naturally gluten-free, cooked slowly on a cast-iron tawa with no rolling pin, patted directly by hand to a rough round. The maize flour gives it a golden colour, a faintly sweet, earthy taste, and a crumbly texture that holds together best when eaten hot. A winter staple across the North Indian plains and tribal uplands.
