Masala Roti as the name suggests, the roti is made up of a mix of spices. Masala Roti is a North Indian flatbread Which is prepared for breakfast or dinner. I learned this from one of my friends when I was in Ahmedabad a few years back. I love all North Indian Dishes.
I have shown here the basic version of masala roti. You can even add curd to this while making the dough to make roti softer. More you knead, the dough becomes smoother and roti would be softer. Roll roti little thicker than normal roti. If you roll it very thin then it would become crispy after a while. It will not stay soft for a very long time. This roti can be served with curd and any pickle of your choice. I had this roti with onion raita. Now let us see how to prepare this Masala Roti.
