Missi Roti

By

 



Dear Friends,

     Today I will share with you a famous north Indian delicacy, 'Missi Roti.' One story related to this dish I would like to share with you. One day Mughal emperor "Humayun' used to visited 'Sher Garh.' while walking around the building. He was feeling exhausted and, a fakir saw this and requests him to share a meal with him. Both of them sit down under a tree. Fakir opens a bundle and offers Humayun a spiced flatbread as 'Missi Roti.'

 Humayun gets it hard to stop at one. Once he is done, he is a small taken aback to know that the fakir had been keeping the Rotis for a few days now; In fact, Missi Rotis keep perfectly well over many days and are the perfect food for long journeys, he is told. Humayun takes note, thanks to the fakir, and conquers up to resume his critique.
