Roti is a type of flatbread that originated in India and is now popular all over the world. It's made from wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes yeast or baking powder. The dough is rolled out into thin circles which are then cooked on a griddle or skillet until they become crispy and golden brown. Roti can be eaten as a standalone bread or used to scoop up curry or other foods. It's an essential part of many Indian meals, much like tortillas are in Mexican cuisine.
