Khameeri Roti

Khameeri Roti

Punjab

Khameeri Roti is the leavened cousin of the everyday chapati — yeast-risen, slightly tangy, and wonderfully soft with a chewy pull that plain roti just can't match. It's the bread that Lahori roti shops start preparing before sunrise. Once you taste a fresh khameeri roti slathered with makhan, you'll understand the queue outside those shops.
