Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of flour is used?
It is made entirely from finely milled whole wheat flour(atta), making it a healthy choice.
Is this bread vegan?
Yes, the plain Tawa Roti is made simply with flour and water, containing no dairy.
How is it different from a Tandoori Roti?
Tawa Roti is cooked on a flat iron pan, resulting in a softer texture, while Tandoori Roti is baked in a clay oven for a crispier finish.
Can it be made gluten-free?
Unfortunately, as it relies on whole wheat, it is not gluten-free.
How many come in an order?
Typically, one order consists of a single, freshly cooked flatbread.
About Tawa Roti
Roti is the everyday flatbread of North Indian households, made from atta — finely milled whole wheat — mixed with just water into a soft dough. The tawa roti is the griddle version: rolled out thin and cooked on a flat iron tawa over a high flame, flipped twice so it cooks through evenly and puffs in spots. At BHARAT it is rolled and cooked fresh to order, so it reaches the table hot. Because it is wheat and water alone, the plain tawa roti carries no dairy, and it comes off the griddle softer and a little crisper at the edges rather than charred. It is leaner and lighter than naan, which is made from refined flour. No butter is added unless you ask for it, and oil can be left off on request. Like all our breads it is halal-friendly with no pork. Tear off pieces and use it to scoop up any of the gravies on the menu, from dal to a rich paneer.
