Parsi Rotli

Thin, soft whole-wheat flatbread made on a tawa and finished briefly over an open flame — the Parsi word 'rotli' (equivalent to roti) reflects the Gujarati linguistic influence absorbed over centuries of living in Gujarat. Slighter thinner and more pliable than a standard North Indian roti; often eaten smeared with ghee or butter alongside akuri, patio, or a simple Parsi dal. The everyday bread of the Parsi household, made fresh at every meal across South Mumbai, Pune, and Surat Parsi colonies.
