Bread Preparations
Punjabi breads are both flat (unleavened) breads as well as raised breads. The breads may be made of different types of flour and can be made in various ways:
- Baked in the tandoor like Naan, Tandoori roti, Kulcha, or Lachha Paratha
- Dry baked on the Tava (Indian griddle) like Phulka or Chapati, jowar ki roti, baajre ki roti and Makki ki roti (these are also smeared with white butter)
- Shallow fried like Paratha, Keema Paratha, Potato or Radish Paratha
- Deep fried like Puri and Bhatoora (a fermented dough)
Naan is also very popular. It is served with most of the dishes made at an Indian restaurant.

Famous quotes containing the words bread and/or preparations:
“If a weakly mortal is to do anything in the world besides eat the bread thereof, there must be a determined subordination of the whole nature to the one aim—no trifling with time, which is passing, with strength which is only too limited.”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
“Whatever may be the reason, whether it was that Hitler thought he might get away with what he had got without fighting for it, or whether it was that after all the preparations were not sufficiently complete—however, one thing is certain: he missed the bus.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
