Yuga: Most popular types of Indian bread 

Indian cuisine is known for its various types of bread that goes well with almost all of its dishes. Here are the most popular types of Indian bread that you need to know:

• Naan

Naan is probably the most famous Indian Bread. It is leavened flatbread that is made of wheat flour and cooked in a clay oven. It is best served with dishes like kebab or tandoori chicken.

• Phita

The common base for phita is rice flour, but wheat or corn flour can also be used. It is prepared as small cookies that have sweet or savoury versions filled with either veggies, spices, cheeses, nuts or coconuts. 

• Appam

Also known as rice hoppers, Appams are soft pancakes in the shape of a bowl. They are made of fermented rice batter and coconut, paired with coconut milk or stew. They are crispy around the edges and soft in the middle.

• Bhatura

• Pratha

Paratha is a flaky flatbread filled with veggies like cabbage and potato. It is often served with a side of pickle or yoghurt. Paratha can carry and hold up curries and stir-fries well due to its dense and crisp texture.
