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:
“It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without soup or bread in it.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“In all the important preparations of the mind she was complete; being prepared for matrimony by an hatred of home, restraint, and tranquillity; by the misery of disappointed affection, and contempt of the man she was to marry. The rest might wait. The preparations of new carriages and furniture might wait for London and the spring, when her own taste could have fairer play.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
