#chappati

When asked someone what's the difference between Roti, phulka and chappati, they reply its the same thing just called differently at different place. But when I searched the reasons behind their terminology and the unique ways of making it, made me think about the different cultures that we Indians have, even in a small community. The differences are as follow:

Roti - Made on "tawa"(pan), on medium flame.

Phulka - Made on 'tawa" and then on direct flame, and later on some oil/ghee is being spread on it.

Chappati - The thickest of all, and at times the heaviest too. Made on tawa with loads of ghee and oil.
