The World in Breakfast Dishes

Roti-Platter – India

Roti is a kind of Indian flatbread, not to be confused with the more well-known naan bread. Naan includes yeast, while roti does not, which makes for a better breakfast dish. The bread is, of course, not served alone. It comes with various dips and sauces, usually served in small cups to dip into.

From ketchup to light curry to sour cream or other regional dishes, the options are endless. This particular dish has many more varieties as different regions in India prefer different bread types and different dips. Other types of bread include the idli and dosa, both of which are flatbreads. The dosa, in particular, is popular with those who have a sweet tooth since it goes very well with jams and other sweet toppings.
