rotis
Tawa-cooked discs
Rotis is the plural of roti, a round flatbread from South Asian cuisine.
Made from whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle, rotis are a staple accompaniment to curries and other dishes: We ordered extra rotis to scoop up the dal.
The term appears in Indian, Pakistani, Caribbean, and other cuisines influenced by South Asian cooking.
