What is Missi Roti?


Missi rotis or Missi ki roti is an age-old flatbread, traditionally made with whole wheat flour (atta) and chana dal flour or gram flour (besan). This flour is combined with a blend of spices and aromatics like herbs that elevate the dish, distinguishing it from a simple roti. There are several variations to this recipe, which feature a mix and match of missi roti ingredients. Some individuals tend to like their rotis a little crispy and may incorporate rice flour, while others may include lentils to boost the nutrient content of the missi roti recipe.
