Lastly, we are presenting you the last Indian delight called Roti Prata (also known as Flatbread).
Picture can be deceiving too, don’t you agree? Previously, this dish was served with a plain flavour only. Nowadays, this dish comes in different flavours. Some of these flavours include banana, durian, chocolate, garlic and more. Even though these flavoured pratas are different from the original prata, they have similar size and texture when compared to the original prata. No one dares to criticise the original prata as it has its own hidden beauty. When you are eating it, you are able to feel the crispiness of the original prata that enriches your mouth. If you feel that something is missing to spice your life, a bowl of Indian curry will always come in hand. The only difference between the original prata and the flavoured prata is that the flavoured prata comes with an additional characteristic that liven up your taste buds when you put it into your mouth. Isn’t it magnificent? The crispiness and the flavour of the prata indulge you to the fullest, leaving you speechless. Typing out here does not really bring up the true beauty of the food.
