रोटी की तैयारी (Roti Preparation): The Indian Flatbread System

India has the most diverse flatbread tradition in the world — at least a dozen named preparations from roti and chapati (daily bread) to paratha (layered), puri (fried), bhatura (leavened and fried), and naan (tandoor-leavened). Each requires different dough composition, different technique, and different cooking surface. The roti tradition is documented in every Indian regional culinary source.
