Mandua Ki Roti

A rustic flatbread made from finger millet (mandua/ragi) flour — dark, slightly dense, and nutty in flavour. The staple bread of Kumaoni hill villages, especially in winter when its warming properties are prized. Eaten with ghee, aloo palda, or bhang ki chutney, mandua ki roti is the backbone of the traditional Kumaoni meal.
