What's the bread called?
When asked someone what's the difference between Roti, phulka and chappati, they reply its the same thing just called differently at different place. But when I searched the reasons behind their terminology and the unique ways of making it, made me think about the different cultures that we Indians have, even in a small community. The differences are as follow:
Roti - Made on "tawa"(pan), on medium flame.
Phulka - Made on 'tawa" and then on direct flame, and later on some oil/ghee is being spread on it.
Chappati - The thickest of all, and at times the heaviest too. Made on tawa with loads of ghee and oil.
At times they even look the same, so you never know what you are eating.
