The love Indians share for bread is no stranger to us. While there were two communities i.e. Naan Bais and Bhatiyaras who supplied bread to the locals, it is now easily available everywhere.
A look at the culinary map of Delhi tells us that the city is well-known for its delectable varieties of bread. So if you’re in the capital, don’t forget to try them.
Made of a tough crust and spongy interior, the bakarkhani is a delicious baked bread popular not just in Kashmir but in the lanes of Old Delhi and Nizamuddin too.
While Amritsar may be known as the land of kulchas, you cannot miss the matar kulcha combination when in Delhi. The soft maida bread is either baked or cooked in tandoor.
The aroma of this mildly sweet and rich bread reminds one of the Mughal era. Garnished with nuts and dry fruits, it is a decadent affair.
The best companion for meaty curries, khamiri roti comes from the word khamiri, which means yeast. The leavened bread is popular in the Mughlai cuisine.
Layers of crispiness folded together and rolled into a disc shape is what makes this laccha paratha unique. The flaky bread can be paired with veg as well as non-veg gravies.
