Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your dough is sticky but not overly wet; this will help achieve that perfect texture. If you don’t have baking powder, you can use baking soda with a bit of vinegar as a substitute. If you're out of flour, try whole wheat or chickpea flour for a different flavor. This Indian Bread can be enjoyed with various dips like Sesame Curry Sauce or served alongside a Curried Vegetable Medley.

Store any leftover Indian Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
