Deep Tandoori Roti
What it is
Deep Tandoori Roti is a type of unleavened flatbread that is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven. This version is pre-cooked and packaged for convenience, offering a soft and slightly chewy texture. It is made from whole wheat flour and water, with a simple preparation that allows the natural flavor of the grains to come through. The bread is designed to be heated before serving, making it a quick addition to meals.

To enjoy Deep Tandoori Roti, simply heat it before serving. You can warm it in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until it is soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can heat it in a toaster oven or microwave. For a slightly charred effect, you can briefly hold it over an open gas flame using tongs, being careful not to burn it. Ensure it is heated through for the best texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike naan, which is often leavened and enriched with yogurt or milk, tandoori roti is typically made with just flour and water. This results in a denser, chewier texture and a more rustic flavor profile compared to the softer, lighter consistency of naan.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an authentic and convenient flatbread to complement Indian and South Asian dishes will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused roti in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, you can freeze the roti for up to a month. Thaw frozen roti at room temperature before heating.
