I’ve always wondered how to make flatbread, so thanks Andrew.
When my Dad brought me to a Bengali village as a kid, I woke up to a breakfast that I cannot and will never forget. It had toasted sunny side up duck eggs, Potato Bazi (Google that) and 3 types of flat bread along with it : Roti (No Oil) Chapati /Paratha (Oil in Batter) Puri (Oil in Batter and then deep fried) It was unforgettably amazing. Babish, I dare you to make all three. Skoll.

Well, technically, you're right. Even here in India, the specific term for this type of roti is Tawa Roti. Tawa means pan. And then there are other types of rotis like Khameeri (Yeast) roti, and Tandoori (Clay oven baked) roti. But because mostly when we eat at home, the default is tawa roti, we don't feel the need to add the adjective and we just call it Roti and I guess that's why at least in India most people would think of this before anything else when they think of Roti.

@@CSRgamer technically, it maybe. I can't say for sure but I have never heard anyone can it Naan roti. Also, I feel like that would sound equally as annoying as calling it 'Naan bread'. I guess the logic here maybe like how while most sandwiches have the word sandwich with them, you don't call a burger a burger sandwich. It's called just a burger even though technically, it is a type of a sandwich. I hope my answer is helpful.
Flatbreads are a staple! You can do wraps, pizzas, borek, whatever you want with them, great basics episode!!!! Also it is a great way to preserve grains, especially in the case of Lavash.
