Each region has its specific type of flatbread and indigenous ways of making them. Rotis, parathas and a variety of flatbreads are perfect accompaniment to relish with subzis and dals.
Hyderabadis have their own authentic flatbreads like the Sheermal, Bakar Khani Naan, Bidari Paratha, Hyderabadi Paneer Potato Kulcha.
Tandoori naan is the most famous Punjabi flatbread. Usually made with plain flour, sometimes to improve their texture, ingredients like curd, baking powder, baking soda or yeast are added to the dough. Influenced by the Moghul era, Sheermal a mildly-sweet, saffron-flavoured naan is a popular delight across the Indo-Pak sub-continent. The application of little ghee before serving accentuates the aroma manifold.
A spicy mixture of paneer and potato, stuffed and rolled thin, roasted on a tava with ghee gives the Hyderabadi paneer potato kulcha a holistic taste. It can be enjoyed as breakfast or as an evening snack. You can simply wrap it in a foil and carry in your lunch box. Cut it into fancy shape and serve with pickles or curd to make it look like an appetizing party starter.
Similar to the Kerala Parota, Bidari Paratha is a unique and interesting flaky paratha made by combining the perfect proportions of refined flour, wheat flour and semolina. The technique of rolling the paratha is special and it tastes amazing with tongue-tickling gravies and curries.
A naan similar to bread, the Bakar Khani Naan is mildly sweet flatbread flavored with elaichi powder and coated with poppy seed. The special technique of rolling and brushing with butter while rolling improves the taste and aroma.
