New Delhi: Taste Atlas, an experiential travel online guide for traditional food. has released the latest rankings of the world’s best flatbreads and it turns out that the Indian butter garlic naan is in second place.
“Flatbreads have been enjoyed across different cultures for centuries, with each region adding its own distinct flavours and techniques to this culinary creation. While determining the absolute best flatbread would be an impossible task for anyone, we’ve turned to mathematics and counted your votes – as we always do,” it wrote.
Roti canai from Malaysia, a traditional pan-fried flatbread made with flour, water, eggs, and fat, has been ranked the best flatbread. “The dough for roti canai is repeatedly folded, so the final product has a layered texture, a soft interior, and a crispy outer layer. The most common fat used in roti canai is ghee, the traditional Indian clarified butter. It is believed that the dish originated in India when the Indian labourers who migrated to Malaysia brought the recipe and the tradition of preparing this crispy pastry to the foreign country,” Taste Atlas said.
